Blue Mosque (Masjed-e Kabud)
最佳游览时间
Afternoon between 14.00 and 16.00 is ideal, as sunlight filters through the domes and brings out the turquoise tones in the tiles. If you visit on weekdays, you can avoid the crowds.
预算提示
Entry fee is about 200,000 Iranian rials (a very small amount, around 0.5 dollars). Iran's national heritage card is not valid, so remember to bring cash.

关于
快速信息: The mosque was begun in 1465 by order of Jahan Shah but was completed after his death by the Aqqoyunlu ruler Uzun Hasan. Although the turquoise tiles on its exterior facade have fallen off over time, some of the tile work in the interior has survived to the present day, and some of these tiles influenced architect Victor Horta, considered a pioneer of the Art Nouveau movement.
亮点: On the qibla wall of the mosque, there is a giant marble mihrab unparalleled in Iran. But what is truly enchanting are the marble gargoyles carved in the shape of lion heads lined around the octagonal pool at the entrance of the mosque: the water flowing from each one adds a mystical sound to the courtyard.
内部小贴士
- Choose early morning hours to take photos in front of the giant marble mihrab on the qibla wall, as the light reveals the carvings better.
- Be sure to stop by the tomb in the southwest corner of the mosque, where two princesses from the Shahseven tribe are laid to rest.
- Bring a lantern or a flashlight with you, as some parts of the interior are quite dim.
