Photo Gallery: Nasirol Molk Mosque, Shiraz (Part1)

This mosque is one of the most elegant mosques in south of Iran. Built relatively recently, at the end of the 19th century, its colored tilings (an unusually deep shade of blue) are exquisite. There is some particularly fine stalactite moulding in the smallish outer portal and in the northern iwan, but it is the stunning stained glass and exquisitely carved pillars of the winter prayer hall that are most eye-catching.

This mosque was built around 1872-1884 by order of Nasirol Molk, the aristocrat of Shiraz.
