History

Файл:Blmreconstruction.jpg
Plan of the Blue Mosque reconstruction.

The Blue mosque of Tabriz was built upon the order of Jahan Shah, the ruler of the Kara Koyunlu.Шаблон:Sfn Jahan Shah's wife, Khatun Jan Begum (died 1469), established the endowment (vaqf) for the mosque's construction.Шаблон:Sfn However, just a few years later, Jahan Shah and his Kara Koyunlu were toppled by Uzun Hassan of the Ak Koyunlu, and Tabriz was taken.Шаблон:Sfn Jahan Shah's daughter, Saleha Khatun, oversaw the rest of the construction work by the new rulers.Шаблон:Sfn During the reign of Yaqub bin Uzun Hasan, "the cupola of the mosque's mausoleum as well as its main parts were completed".Шаблон:Sfn Sandra Aube adds: "A few details from the mausoleum’s interior, such as alabaster pieces from the wall panels and the main prayer niche (meḥrāb), reveal that the mausoleum was never completely finished (Golombek and Wilber, p. 407; Aube, p. 248)".Шаблон:Sfn

Though the mausoleum was never completed, when the Safavids assumed control over Tabriz and made it their capital, the Blue Mosque itself served the new rulers as a mosque during the first half of the 16th century.Шаблон:Sfn In 1514, after the Safavids were defeated at the decisive Battle of Chaldiran, the Ottomans occupied and looted Tabriz, including the Blue Mosque.Шаблон:Sfn Aube notes that at least eight carpets were looted by the Turks and taken to Istanbul.Шаблон:Sfn Aube notes that even though it is not known whether the Turks attacked the structure itself during the capture and occupation of the Blue Mosque, several earthquakes did damage the building between the 16th and 18th centuries.Шаблон:Sfn It was especially severely damaged by the earthquake of 1780.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn However, in the 17th century, the Blue Mosque was already reportedly "completely destroyed and abandoned".Шаблон:Sfn In the 19th century, the local people of Tabriz looted the building's ruins.Шаблон:Sfn In the 20th century, during the Pahlavi era, the mosque was finally rebuilt.Шаблон:Sfn
