Mosque of Whirling Colours

nasir-al-mulk-mosqueA mixture of architecture and art in Nasīr al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, Iran. The thing that sets this Mosque apart from the rest is when the sunlight hits it everyday. The whole inside of the building is showed with rainbow coloured lights dancing across the floor, walls and ceiling. It looks like such a magical place that is perfect for prayer. Not only do the stained glass windows give off an incredible display, but the thousands of painted tiles in the mosque are filled with color. The mosque's construction began in 1876 and was completed in 1888.
