introduse Nasirol Molk Mosque in shiraz with photogallery
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.
