Known as the Pink Mosque, the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque is indisputably a gem of Islamic architecture. Here, the intricate labyrinth of columns, niches and archways set the stage for the most unusual spectacle of kaleidoscopic play of light.
The very intricate web of stained-glass windows lights up the otherwise dark and solemn interior of the mosque into a myriad of colours.
The atmosphere of this magic place changes along with the movements of the sun. The subtle colour reflections upon the mosaic walls in the evening explode into a dazzling spectacle of colours the very following morning
Located in Shiraz in the Fars province of Iran’s south west, the Pink Mosque, or Nasir al-Mulk Mosque was constructed between 1876 and 1888, during the Qajar dynasty.
