Religious spaces, especially mosques, were of great importance in the Islamic era. The entrance space, which is the first element to enter, can have a physical and functional role and convey meanings. The view that the beliefs and values of the society result in architectural innovations is most commonly found in the physical and spatial system of mosques. The present study aimed at the typology of mosque entrance based on the physical differences, path, and direction of the entrance. However, the mosques entrance has undergone many changes over the course of history, which is the criterion for examining the current conditions of the mosques due to the lack of information. The research is a descriptive-analytical study, i.e. the analysis of the spaces designed for the entrance of the Qajar mosques in Shiraz. The paper first focuses on the development of entrance from the beginning, and then describes the entrance space, role, and components in the mosques. In this section, all the mosques in Shiraz constructed in the Qajar period are studied, and their physical characteristics and components are reported in few tables. Finally, the characteristics of all the Shiraz mosques in the Qajar period are mentioned according to field research and available maps. By examining all the remaining mosques, it is possible to categorize their entrances in terms of the entrance components, axis, entry, decorations, façade and plan ratios, entrance pattern, and entrance location.
