This paper is an attempt to use an aesthetic-architectural approach to explore the role of architecture in crystallization of religious identity and how it can be considered as a symbol of cultural and artistic activities of Iranian society. For this purpose, this paper will analyze one of the architectural works (Isfahan’s Jaame Mosque) from the viewpoint of articulating its characteristics and outstanding remarks. I first take a look at the concept of Iranian architecture and its current relationship to globalization and Irano-Islamic architecture. I then, will pay attention to the place of Irano-Islamic architecture and specially that of Isfahan’s Jaame Mosque in history of Islam and Iran. Finally, based on a composite concept of globalization and cultural identity I will try to identify the interrelationship between national and extra-national views that are embedded in Irano-Islamic architectural heritage.
