Iranian architecture, standing on the eastern side of Naghsh-i Jahan

Square, Isfahan, Iran.The mosque is located at the center of the east

side of Isfahan’s maydan, or grand royal square (512 by 159 meters),

built by Shah ‘Abbas I between 1590 and 1602.

The interior side of the dome is inset with a network of lemon-shaped

compartments, which increase in size as they descend from a formalised

peacock at the pattern inlaid on plain stucco.
