Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, with its wonders, leaves every visitor speechless with surprise. The circular dome is decorated with Islamic motifs, and surprisingly enough, during daytime and according to sun’s positon, the color of the dome changes. In the morning it turns khaki, in the afternoon it turns pink and in the evening it turns gray. It’s worth noting that, a peacock is designed under the dome, the head of which is completed by the light from the arch above the dome. This is one of the most significant aspects of this mosque that attracts many tourists from all over the world. The Mosque was built in eighteen years and it is considered as a masterpiece of architecture and tiling of Safavid era.

A mosque that leaves you in awe by its details in tile-works in walls and the dome. Amazing agriculture, colorful tiles, unforgettable atmosphere. It's a mosque has built especially for women so that has specific features.
It is located in the most attractive place in Isfahan, Naghshe-Jahan square, which has other wonderful monuments on the other sides.

What a beautiful mosque.. even it has no minarets because if was used only by the royal family and they didn’t need the specific call by the muezzine. Construction was finished after 14 years in 1616 and was a private mosque for the ruler and his family. Even it’s not the biggest mosque it’s stunning. The light in the afternoon was very good. A must!

This mosque was built by the order of Shah Abbas I, in honor of Sheikh lotfollah who was the prominant Shiite leader in Lebonon.
It was a glorious private mosque for royal family. There is no minarates and no courtyards.
