This paper attempts to investigate the role of Iranians in developing the basic mosque patterns. To this end, one of the oldest mosques in Iran is systematically compared to a pre-Islamic monument in the same geographical territory. Tarikhaneh Mosque in Damghan is probably one of the oldest Iranian mosques which later restorations have not changed its basic design or construction methods. It is essentially a colonnaded courtyard. The colonnade becomes deeper adjoining a prayer hall on the south side, i.e. towards the direction of qibla. This mosque is compared to the Sassanid palace of Tappeh-Hesar in Damghan area. All researches have unanimously referred to identical construction methods in both buildings such as foundations, brickwork in columns and walls, vault and arches, decoration of column capitals, etc. This analysis supports the hypothesis that Iranian places of worship and palaces have significantly influenced the design of mosques in later centuries. For example, the somewhat wider middle span in the courtyard of the Tarikhaneh Mosque becomes taller and wider opening (eiwan) in mosques of later periods.
