Masjed-e Jameh (Jameh Mosque)
(Aftab 27th Lane; dawn to dusk)
Built around a quadrangle in the
bazaar
, the attract-
ive 15th-century mosque has blue-tiled portals, sections of traditionally tiled roof and a
distinctive Mazandarani-style capped minaret.
MOSQUE
Imamzadeh-ye Nur
(Aftab 15th Alley; 8am-dusk)
This 15th- century brick tomb tower may be of specialist
interest, but actually finding it is a great excuse to poke around Gorgan's most interesting
old alleys.
TOWER
Taqavi House
(Taqavi Lane; admission free; 8am-6pm)
This magnificent building houses the Golest-
an Miras cultural-tourist office. Ask to peep inside the 'eight-wife' harem building which
is not your average bureaucrat's photocopy cupboard.
