In the Shah Abbasi Mosque in Isfahan

Built during the Safavid dynasty in the early 17th century, it stands as a masterpiece of Islamic art and one of the most stunning mosques in the world. The mosque is renowned for its stunning blue tilework, intricate calligraphy, and grand entrance liwan.
The significance about the mosque and the square was, in order for the mosque to be visible from anywhere in the square, unlike other important structures, the axis of the square did not coincide with axis of Mecca. If they would have been built in alignment, the dome of the mosque would be concealed by the towering entrance.
My photo was taken inside the holy yard of the famouse mosque buidling.
