Within is a long arcaded courtyard where, behind a deep-set south-east iwan, is a sanctuary chamber (shabestan). This chamber, under a squat tiled dome, is exquisitely decorated with faience mosaic.Jameh mosque in Yazd(built in 12th century) is still in use today.It was largely rebuilt between 1324CE and 1365CE, and is one of the outstanding 14th century buildings of Iran.
