The beautiful city of Shiraz shares another of its treasures with the world: the Nasir-ol-Molk Mosque, also known as the Pink Mosque.
This Qajar-era structure, completed in 1925 is mostly famous for its vibrant color displays which offer its visitor a magical dance as the sunlight shines through the breathtaking multicolored glasses of the bedchamber. The combined visuals of its stained-glass windows, carpeted floors, colourful tile work, and geometrically splendid arches and pillars are absolutely stunning – a true masterpiece!
