#postandearn 📍 Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque 📍 Address: Imam Square, Isfahan 84156-83111, Iran Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque is a masterpiece of Persian-Islamic architecture, quietly seated on the eastern side of Isfahan’s grand Naqsh-e Jahan Square. Unlike other mosques, it was built without minarets or a courtyard — an intimate, royal sanctuary once reserved for the Safavid elite. Its elegance lies in its exquisite tilework and perfect symmetry. The entrance corridor turns to align the prayer hall with Mecca, leading to a dome that seems to glow from within. Inside, delicate arabesques and deep blue mosaics spiral into a golden sunburst at the center. The silence, the filtered light, and the meticulous geometry all create a feeling of timeless stillness. 🕰️ Best visiting season: March to May or September to November — for pleasant weather and softer light Tips for visitors: • Arrive early morning or near sunset for the most magical light inside the dome • Modest clothing is required — respect the spiritual space • Pair with a visit to Shah Mosque and Ali Qapu Palace to understand Safavid grandeur • Photography is allowed, but silence is appreciated • Ideal for lovers of art, history, and sacred geometry #SheikhLotfollahMosque #IsfahanTreasures #PersianArchitecture #NaqsheJahanSquare #IranHiddenGems #TileworkWonder #IslamicArtMasterpiece #IranTravelMoments#historicallandmarks #trip

A mosque in Imam Square in Isfahan. The entrance fee for foreigners is about 6 euros. For me, it is the most beautiful building in Iran, and I definitely recommend going inside. The decorations inside the mosque are so beautiful and mysterious, and it's so big that you can look at it forever. There were not many people, so it was great that we had it all to ourselves. I was so moved that I went to this mysterious place two days in a row lol There are so many things to see in Isfahan~cry #0yentravelFebruary2025#Isfahan

[Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque] On the edge of Imam Square, after entering, it was shocked by the momentum here. It is so beautiful. It is strongly recommended to come. There are so many mosques in Iran to see it. This impression gives me It is indelible. Tickets: 10w riyal / person indoor light is very dark, should come with a tripod. . Before I saw someone who described the dome as a peacock that had been open for a long time, it was a beautiful dome, and I kept looking up at my neck, but I was too late to leave. There is also a bright spot in this mosque, that is, the cover of LP is also the view here. This is taken according to the angle of the LP cover. Unfortunately, there is a light in the wood. It is said that it is necessary to come in around 8:00 in the winter. In this window, we have taken this light. We are now in the winter time, but after all, it is only in October. I am not sure if it is the winter, and I ran to the bus station early in the morning to buy the ticket to Yazd the next day. I missed the 8 o'clock time, so this statement has not been verified in my case. It is only a great pity that I have not been photographed. . . Although I didn't photograph the light on the LP cover, I have to admit that this light is nothing more than a finishing touch, because the mosque itself is beautiful, beautiful and does not require any extra decoration. Here, people are also seemingly small. If you dont look carefully, you forget that I once left a shadow in the corner.

Sheikh Lovra Mosque, Sheikh Lotfula Mosque is located on the left side of Imam Square in Isfahan, Iran. After careful observation, the mosque does not have a courtyard and a minaret. It is said that the mosque is only used by the interior of the royal family, so it is not needed. The pattern of the huge dome is made up of the central "peacock" and the pattern of lemon-shaped shapes that grow around it. The whole dome is like a sky, and it is extremely beautiful and gorgeous. Outside the Sheikh Lovra Mosque, I met a beautiful Iranian girl. She greeted us enthusiastically: Chinese? Her Chinese name is Lin Xueli. She studied Chinese at the University of Isfahan for four years. The Mandarin word is round and it is said that she will go to China to study in the future. Around the square is the traditional Bazaar. Here, you can buy a variety of jewelry, small storage boxes made of camel bones, exquisite silver pots and pots, and some shops, you can also pay with Alipay and WeChat!

The Sheikh Lotvula Mosque was named after the father-in-law of Abbas the Great (Lebanese Shiite scholar) and was built in the early 16th century. There are two major characteristics worthy of careful observation. First, the mosque has no courtyard and minaret. It is said that the reason is that the mosque is only used by the interior of the royal family, so it is not needed. Second, the color of the exterior of the mosque dome changes with the sun's rays to the evening. Gradually turned pink.

The Kings Mosque, also known as the Sheikh Ruff Mosque, was exclusively used by the royal family during the Safavid dynasty. Abbass famous wife, in order to flatter, was decisively named after his father-in-law, but the people did not The emperors who are willing to be perfect in their hearts have such an image of fear. They still call this the Kings Mosque. I am more responsive to public opinion, or I like the name of the Kings Mosque, so as to highlight the royal lineage. Abbas the Great is a low-key and artistically literate person, so the size of the King's Mosque is not large, only one-fifth of the Imam Mosque next to it, but the interior decoration is beautiful. The skilled craftsmen from Armenia burned the finest ceramic tiles in the world, inlaid in every corner of the mosque, no matter from which angle they see the majesty of the royal family. But the most beautiful design of the entire mosque is the 16 windows on the dome. In the morning, the sun will shine in from the east window, leaving a beam at the highest point of the dome. At noon, 16 windows receive sunlight at the same time. The illumination, the beam will expand like a peacock, and the picture is so beautiful, I can't imagine it.
