Iran has it all: over 2500 years of history, culture, and
traditions, amazing landmarks and breathtaking views. Walking around the
country gives you a special feeling that you’re walking in history. Even the
architecture fits this feeling. There are buildings and structures hundreds,
thousands of years old, and every part of the cities have a special history. Besides, Iran is home to breathtaking sites of
worship. Although these structures are places of worship, one can’t resist of
admiring of how these Islamic structures are designed and constructed. One such
mosque is The Nasīr al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, Iran. From outside it looks like
a conventional mosque, but inside there is something more. The mosque is called
by many different names. Mostly known as the “Pink Mosque”. The mosque comes to
life with the sunrise and colours dance throughout the day like whirling
dervishes. It reflects on the ground, walls, the arches and the towering
spires. Built in late 19th century, not very new and not very old, it is a
celebration of both classic and modern times embedded in Islamic heritage. There
are guided day tours that you can join them and enjoy visiting this marvelous
mosque. As you see in this photo, the skilled tour guide of Uppersia team,
Maryam, escorted a group of light-hearted British women in their trip to Iran.
