Roshtkhār

Roshtkhar lies in the plains of southern Khorasan, southeast of Zaveh. Its old congregational mosque, a short distance from the settlement, is a reminder of the architecture of the Khwarazmshah period. Two iwans face across the building, and patterned brickwork decorates its surfaces. Later patrons added to and embellished the mosque in Timurid and Safavid times, preserving a place of worship through successive changes of rule.
