Naseri Mosque

Naseri Mosque is located in Bandar Abbas, the capital of Hormozgan Province. This historic mosque was built in 1304 (Solar Hijri) by Mohammad Ali Naseri Heydarabadi, a merchant and philanthropist from Bandar Abbas. At that time, Bandar Abbas was known as one of the most important trading ports in Iran, and the construction of this mosque reflects both the devotion of the people to Islam and the wealth of its founder.

The architecture of Naseri Mosque follows the traditional style of southern Iran. Local materials such as coral stone, gypsum plaster and wood were used in its construction. The roof of the mosque is made of a special wood called sandal or chandal, which was imported from India. Because of its particular properties, this wood resists humidity and heat, and it is widely used in the architecture of southern Iran. Another notable feature of the mosque is its delicate and valuable stucco decoration, an outstanding example of traditional Qajar-era architectural art. Together with the traditional structure and the materials used, this stucco work has made Naseri Mosque one of the important historical and tourist sites of Bandar Abbas.

To reach Naseri Mosque, you can drive along Imam Khomeini Boulevard towards South Imam Musa Sadr Boulevard. The mosque is close to sites such as the Hindu Temple, the Gelehdari Bathhouse and Bandar Abbas City Center. The best time to visit the mosque is spring and autumn, when the weather is mild and pleasant. In these seasons you can enjoy the beauty of the mosque's architecture and decoration.
