It´s an important monument in the city. Builded in XV century by the last Tahirid king, it is special and rare mosque, as it hasn´t minarets. Instead of this, it has domes in its roof, and has two floors, well decorated with archs. It seems a palace instead of a mosque.
At that moment, we couldn´t enter becaude it was being rebuilded.
