There is no accurate information available on the exact date of construction of the Jameh Mosque of Tehran, but the architecture of its different parts indicates the gradual formation of this building in different periods. The artifacts that exist in the Jame Mosque and are nationally registered date back to the periods of Al-e Bouyeh, Safavid and Qajar, and due to the selection of Tehran as the capital, the Jame Mosque building has been renovated and expanded. Therefore, no artifact older than the 13th century AH is seen in this mosque, although the date of construction of this mosque may be before the mentioned centuries. Ahmad Jamei believes that the background of some parts of the current mosque building dates back to the Al-e Bouyeh era and is close to a thousand years old.^[4][5]

The oldest existing document in this regard is the mapping by the French Girchmann made of Tehran in 1275 AH. In the said map, the Jame Mosque building is shown almost in its present form, and it can be concluded that 130 years ago [158 current years], all the current porches were built.^[6]
