Peighambarieh (Persian:پیغمبریه) also known as Chahar-Anbiya is a Shi'ite religious complex located in the city of Qazvin in Iran. The mosque dates back to the Safavid era, but an inscription within it states that the mosque was completed in 1913-1914. The mosque's main name is derived from the word 'Peighambar' which means 'Prophet' in Persian, and appropriately, it is said that four Israelite prophets are buried in the shrine within the structure, hence the second name of the mosque is 'Chahar-Anbiya' which means 'Four Prophets' in Persian as well. The complex of Peighambarieh is located to the west of the Chehelsotoun royal pavillion. Read more on Wikipedia
