Furthermore,  its double-shelled ribbed domes represent an architectural innovation that inspired builders throughout the region. The site also features remarkable decorative details representative of stylistic developments over more than a thousand years of post-Islamic art. However, Jame mosque is the oldest Jame mosque in Iran.

The building illustrates a sequence of architectural construction and decorative style of different periods in Iranian Islamic architecture covering 13 centuries most predominantly the Abbasid, Seljuk, Ilkhanid, Timurid and Safavid eras.
