Summary/Abstract: Kazirzade Mosque is one of the important religious buildings of Tire city in terms of its period, architectural structure and decorations. Kazirzade Mosque doesn’t have a construction inscription that survives to the present day, and it isn’t known exactly when the construction was started. However, the findings gained in the restoration studies carried out between 2015-2016 have enabled us to obtain more sound information about the structure. In this direction, the primary purpose of this research is to emphasize the interaction that the structure had and the period in which it should be considered in accordance with the findings. In the comprehensive inner and outer restoration works carried out on the mosque, significant findings were obtained regarding the plan scheme and decorations of the structure.
