Abstract
The mosques as the most important built structure in all historical eras of Islamic architecture has a special place in research and investigation. Researching the Iranian architecture and querying its blind spots of its transformation can be a proper context to investigate and analyze the role of Iranian architects in Islamic architecture. The present study using a descriptive-analytic method embarked on recognizing the importance of mosque structure in Islamic architecture and distinctive features of Safavids as milestone of Iranian architecture. Finally peculiar features of ShaikhLotfollah mosque was compared with Tabriz Kaboud mosque. Certainly ShaikhLotfollah mosque of Isfahan is one of the most prominent Iranian-Islamic structures built in the eastern side of NaqsheJahan square causing the emergence of different hypotheses on building of these exceptional states due to its peculiar features. The results showed that kaboud mosque is not Iranian regarding design features having Turkish adaptation. Finally after the comparison it was known that however ShaikhLotfollah mosque was built in Safavids in Isfahan style, since Safavids were of Turks, they renew their old tradition of mosque building style in Shaikhlotfollah mosque.
