Imam Mosque, formerly known as Shah Mosque is a mosque in Isfahan,

Iran standing in south side of Naghsh-i Jahan Square.

 

Built during the Safavid period, it is an excellent example of Islamic

architecture of Iran, and regarded as one of the masterpieces of

Persian Architecture. The Shah Mosque of Esfahan is one of the

everlasting masterpieces of architecture in Iran. It is registered,

along with the Naghsh-i Jahan Square, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Its construction began in 1611, and its splendor is mainly due to the

beauty of its seven-colour mosaic tiles and calligraphic inscriptions.

 

The mosque is one of the treasures featured on Around the World in 80

Treasures presented by the architecture historian Dan Cruickshank.
