Iran - Stunning Interior of Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz

    I think that everyone of us has place which we wanted to visit but didn’t manage to do so or didn’t know about it when being in the area.

    Well, Nasir al-Mulk mosque …. is such a place for me. When I visited Iran in 2006, I got to Shiraz mainly wanting to see Persepolis. It was only after I’ve left Shiraz that I’ve seen wonderful photos of rather unusual mosque that has beautifully colored glass windows. When I flew to Shiraz couple of months ago, I made sure that I wont miss this place again. However life makes sure that there is always some surprise prepared for us. Beauty of this mosque comes up especially when the light nicely penetrates colored glass and beautifully reflects on the tiled floor. I’ve visited this place on Saturday morning and carpets have been still spread on the floor after Friday prayers… so I didn’t get the full effect of the colorful light… it means I have to visit it again….
