The Jarchi Mosque (Persian: مسجد جارچی; Arabic: مسجد جارتشي)[a] is a Shi'ite mosque located in the Great Bazaar (Bazaar-e-Bozorg) of Esfahan, in the province of Isfahan, Iran.
The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 20 December 1937, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
The mosque was built according to a Thuluth inscription above its spandrel in 1610 CE under the supervision of Shah Abbas' herald. In Azeri and Persian languages, the word Jarchi means herald. The mosque has a shabestan and the decorations of the mosque are mainly destroyed.[1]
