nasir al molk mosque shiraz iran

The mosque was built during the Qjr era, and is still in use under protection by Nasir al Mulk's
Endowment Foundation. It was built by the order of Mirza Hasan Ali Nasir al Molk, one of the lords of
the Qajar Dynasty, in 1876 and was finished in 1888. The designers were Muhammad Hasan-e-Memar
and Muhammad Reza Kashi Paz-e-Shirazi.

The mosque extensively uses colored glass in its facade, and displays other traditional elements such as
panj kseh-i (five concaves) in its design.
Especially the colored glass makes the mosque beautiful because of the beautiful inflow of light in the
morning.
The distinctive feature of Nasir al-Mulk is its colored windows along one of the walls which faces the
East.
If you come a bit later, like after 9.00-10.00 the sun will be already quite high and the colored light will
have just small colored prints on the floor close to the big windows.
But if you come early, sometime before 8.00 you will have the most amazing view of this mosque. The
sun is still pretty low at this time and the whole room is filled with colored light.
