‘Sacred Geometry’
Shaikh Lotfullah Mosque is one of the architectural masterpieces of Iranian architecture that was built during the Safavid Empire, standing on the eastern side of Naqsh-i Jahan Square, Esfahan.
It is called the prettiest Mosque in the world.
Haft-rangi tiles (Persian: هفترنگی, lit. “seven-coloured”, “polychrome mosaics”) decorate the upper parts of the structure.
I prayed namaz there along with other women. A screen of carpets partitioned a part of it for women
The architect Mohammad-Reza Isfahani, solved the problem of the difference between the direction of qibla and gateway of the building by devising an L-shaped connecting vestibule between the entrance and the enclosure.
The dome is not directly behind the entrance.
