Archeological evidence suggests that the mosque might be erected on the vestiges of an ancient fire temple, ISNA quoted Mohammadreza Saduqi, a provincial tourism official, as saying on Friday.

Its minaret, which bears a Kufic inscription in brick, is one of the oldest in the country.

Narratives say the minaret makes part of a Seljuk mosque, which has been restored during the Il-Khanid period.
