Maghsoudbeyk Mosque
The Maqsudbeyk Mosque (Persian مسجد مقصودبیک masjed -e Maghsudbeyk [ mæsd͡ʒɛd mæqsudbɛjc ɛ ] ) is a historical mosque in Isfahan, Iran, one of the most magnificent of the Safavid era. It is located near the northeastern corner of the Naqsch -e- Jahan Square.
The mosque was to command Maqsudbeyks, a wealthy governor at the court of Abbas I, built in 1602.
An inscription in the mihrab of the mosque is regarded as a work of art of the calligrapher of the Safavid era, Alireza Abbassi. After Abbas I was satisfied with the inscription, he had Alireza Abbassi entrusted with the inscriptions of Sheikh Lotfollah mosque. Behind the entrance hall of the mosque in a small chamber is the grave I Emads, the competitor Alireza Abbassis.
