🌟 Afternoon Light and Shadow in the Persian Mosque📍 Isfahan, Iran
The Imam Mosque is located on the south side of Naqsh-e Jahan Square. Construction began during the reign of Abbas I of the Safavid Dynasty in 1611. It is a pinnacle of Islamic architectural art and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. ✨ The mosque features the classic four-iwan courtyard structure of Islamic architecture (a central courtyard surrounded by arches on all four sides). The main dome, which is 52 meters high and onion-shaped, produces a clear echo when you speak beneath it, as if the echoes of history can still be heard. BLUE The mosque is renowned for its extensive use of blue and green tiles, earning it the nickname “The Blue Wonder.” The tiles are adorned with intricate geometric patterns, floral designs, and Arabic calligraphy, showcasing the highest level of tile craftsmanship from the Safavid period. Every inch of tile feels like a work of art, leaving visitors in awe. ✨ The ceiling of the main prayer hall is made of complex inlaid craftsmanship. Light streams in through the ingeniously designed windows, making the interior particularly beautiful in the morning! In the afternoon, sunlight filters through the stained glass and falls on the blue tiles, as if casting a mysterious veil over the entire space. #Iran #Travel #HiddenGems #TravelDiary #Architecture #GlobalTravel #LivingLifeToTheFullest #MakingEveryWeekendCount#AestheticLiving
