Iran 🇮🇷

In Shiraz, you can find the pastel pink Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, built in the 1800s.

Or at least... that’s how it looks during the day. At night is when the real party starts, and the beautifully bright stained glass windows create kaleidoscopic rainbow patterns on the floor 🌈

And if you happen to wander inside... well, you’ll be greeted by those same dancing lights stretching across all the walls of the room around you, the pillars and carpets of which are just as ornate and beautiful.

Incredible, what human hands can build.
