Seyyed Mosque (Persian: مسجد سید) is a historic 19th-century mosque located in Isfahan, Iran.[1] It was built during the rule of the Qajar dynasty, by the Shi'ite cleric Mohammad Bagher Shafti, one of the first clerics to receive the rank of Hujjatul Islam.[2] The mosque itself is active, but its construction is not entirely complete.[2][3]
