A 13th century Seljuk period Jamai mosque with flute architectural designed minaret. It was one of first old city mosque build near coast. In its verandeh, a Madressa was also built to train pupils in Islamic jurisprudence and fiqeh. Though most of Madressa side of left with ruins but mosque is still used for prayers. It’s low height roof tombs are earlier style of Seljuk style which is adopted till today in mosques.

It’s good for the area but not so great taste and no place to sit. Though staff was courteous and friendly.
