The Tekyehs are religious sites dating back to the Qajar era where different religious ceremonies are held. The Tekyeh of Moaven al-molk Tekyeh is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and famous examples of these religious sites that you can find today in the historical center, Abshouran neighborhood, of Kermanshah. This Tekyeh was registered as Iran's national heritage in 1975 under registration 945. The Tekiyeh of Moaven al-molk along with Taq-e Bostan and Bisotun are the tourist attractions of Kermanshah.
During the Qajar period, several Tekyehs were built in Kermanshah. The first Tekyeh is said to be known as the Tekyeh of Haj Seyyed and is found in an alley with the same name. One of the famous people of that time ordered the construction of the Tekyeh in the Abshouran neighborhood, which was inaugurated in 1902 and was used to celebrate rites and religious ceremonies. The architect of Moaven al-molk Tekiyeh was Asghar Memarbashi whose name is mentioned on the head of the building. During the constitutional process this work of art was destroyed and after its reconstruction it was named Moaven al-Molk.
The remarkable and exceptional advantage of Moaven al-Molk's Tekyeh is in its mosaic. According to experts, prominent and semi-prominent relief tiles are unique in the world due to the mythology and history of the world and Iran. These tiles used in the Tekyeh of Moaven al-Molk have very beautiful colors and one hundred percent natural. The images engraved on the tiles include scenes from religious legends and images of ancient Iranian kings, including the Achaemenid kings, and images of Persepolis that are one of a kind.
The Tekiyeh of Moaven al-molk consists of different parts to which we will describe below:
The Hosseinieh is a small courtyard surrounded by two-story cells and several arches, the walls of which are decorated with beautiful tiles. The arches in this section are covered with tiles. This complex is about six meters below street level, so you must cross 17 large steps to enter Hosseinieh. Next to the entrance stairs, there is a small saqakhaneh decorated with decorated tiles.
The Abbasieh Building a large courtyard with a two story building on the east side and a two brick porch on the south side. Abbasieh's walls are also decorated with beautiful tiles. In the courtyard, images of religious and political figures and pieces of Kayar men are engraved on the tiles.
