The Jameh Mosque of Saveh (Persian: مسجد جامع ساوه, romanizedMasjed-e-Jāmeh Sāveh), also known as the Friday Mosque of Sava, is a Friday mosque, located in Saveh, Saveh County, in the province of Markazi, Iran. The monument preserves a long sequence of construction phases from the early Islamic centuries through the Seljuk, Ilkhanid and Safavid periods, and archaeological investigation has identified earlier hypostyle mosques beneath the standing structure. The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 6 January 1932, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
