The period of the mosque's foundation is not firmly settled in the sources. Inscriptions on the building name the Qajar ruler Fath Ali Shah as its founder, which suggests a Qajar-era origin. Other sources, however, state that the mosque already existed in the Safavid period.
The record gives 1787 as the date of the building's creation. Its architect is now believed to have been Ostad Mirza Shirazi.
Today the mosque is protected among Iran's national heritage sites.
