Nasir Al-Mulk Mosque, Known As The Pink Mosque, Is One Of The Proudest National Works Of Our Dear Country, Which Has Attracted The Attention Of Many Photographers.

When someone discusses historical architecture, we imagine beautiful arches, tall minarets, statues, and stone walls. Still, probably most of us don’t think about the bright and vivid colors used in these buildings. Nasir al-Mulk Mosque is an outstanding and robust exception to the idea that historical monuments are colorless.

From the colorful glass windows of this mosque to its walls, which are a collection of beautiful and lively colorful geometric tiles, this building displays a perfect example of eye-catching color play in Iran’s historical facilities.

This mosque was constructed by Mirza Hassan Ali Nasir al-Molk (one of the nobles and lords of the Qajar dynasty) and designed by Mirza Reza Kashigar and Haj Mohammad Hassan Memar in Shiraz on the date of 1294 AH. Q. It started in 1305 AH. Q. Finished.

The colored glass used in this nationally registered work of Iran creates a magnificent play of light on the mosque’s floor and gives it the name “Pink Mosque.” All these colors and beauties invite photographers to record their beauty.

This unique work of art and architecture has many elements of traditional Islamic architecture, such as porch arches and a central basin for ablution.

The colored glass windows used in the Pink Mosque are relatively rare; Only a few other mosques, such as the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, have such windows.
