The Sepahsālār Mosque ( - Masjed-e Sepahsālār) is a famous historic mosque in Tehran, Iran. The construction project of the mosque was started in 1879 upon the order of Mirza Hosein Sepahsalar, the Grand Vizir of Iran during Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, and the first phase of construction was finished after five years since it was started. The mosque was renamed the Shahid Motahhari (), after the 1979 Iranian Revolution, but it is commonly known as its initial name of Sepahsalar Mosque. Read more on Wikipedia
