This mosque is one of the most elegant mosques in Iran. It extensively uses colored glass in its facade, and displays other traditional elements in its design. The stunning stained glass and exquisitely carved pillars of the winter prayer hall that are most eye-catching. The mosque was built around 1872-1884 by order of Nasirol-Mulk, the aristocrat of Shiraz. Photo: La Stregadelnord
