Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque is one of the masterpieces of Iranian architecture, which was built in the Safavid period on the eastern side of Naqsh Jahan Square. The dome of the mosque was really eye-catching. Its very large size on the inside and its detailed design were exceptional.

2. Irina from Russia

Unique beauty! Iranians knew architecture and built this mosque well. They knew what shape to give the building and what colors to choose. This combination of blue, yellow and green creates a unique atmosphere that makes the human spirit fly to the sky. I would like to visit again.

3. Fragonard Cross from Thailand

I wish I could sit here for 12 hours. Such a peaceful and holy place of light. For me, this is the best place to be with myself, meditate, observe nature and people. Only a genius can create this building.

4. Ebru Yahşi from Turkey

It was amazing! Entry 250 million rials!

5. Priyesh Bhalodia from India

Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque was built during the reign of Shah Abbas and was dedicated to his father-in-law. The pale tiles of the dome change color from cream to pink depending on the light conditions, and the mosque is unusual for not having a minaret and courtyard. On the street, there is a local market where you can buy traditional things.

6. Mirosław Siemieniuk from Poland

One of the most interesting decorations of its dome was the stalagmite-like structure that hangs above your head at the entrance. Another interesting point is that the Lotfollah Mosque had a secret entrance that was located under the square, near the Ali Qapo Palace.
