Nasir ol-Molk Mosque: A Light Show of a Different Kind

There are numerous mosques all around the world. Each has a design of its own. However, in order to be distinctive from other mosques, a mosque needs to be unique and possess outstanding features. One such mosque is The Nasīr ol-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, Iran. From outside it looks like a conventional mosque, but inside there is something more…

It seems an odd thing to do in Iran, but if you want to practice Japanese, Korean or Mandarin, Russian, Spanish, Italian and .....  head to the Nasir ol-Molk mosque in Shiraz. You’ll find the greatest concentration of East Asian tourists in Iran there. All of the visitors are there for one thing: a light show that is one of the most captivating that Man has made without electricity.

When someone brings up historical architecture, we picture beautiful arches, towering spires, sculptures and stone walls, but most of us probably don’t think of bright and vibrant colors. Nasir ol-Molk Mosque, as illustrated by these photographs, is a striking and strong exception to the idea that historical structures might have been somewhat lacking in colors. Not only are its stained-glass windows richly colored, but its walls feature a beautiful and vibrantly colorful array of painted geometric tiles.
