Heydarieh Madrasa
The Heydarieh Madrasa (also: madrese-ye Haydār , or: Heidarieh Mosque , ( Persian مسجد حیدریه قزوین)) is a Koran school in the Iranian city of Qazvin from the early 12th century.
The madrasa was built on the ruins of a Zoroastrian fire temple . The complex is popularly known as "alsteschkāde" (fire temple, Persian آتشکده) known. It is located in downtown Qazvin, hidden behind high walls, near the "Ali Qāpu Palace". The madrasa has been almost completely destroyed over time. An earthquake in 1119 contributed to this. Amir Chomär-tasch , a vizier of Malik Shah I , had the facility rebuilt. Today, from historical times, only the square, domed prayer hall and an iwan remain . A Kufic inscription that has also remained is considered spectacular because it is one of the most magnificent that was discovered in Iran. There is also a stucco -moreab.
Like the Friday mosque in Qazvin, the Heydarieh Madrasa largely dates from the Seljuk period.
Today the madrasa mosque is the seat of an elementary school with library and auditorium.
