🕌 The Hidden Pearl of Isfahan – Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Iran

#postandearn 📍 Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque 📍 Address: Imam Square, Isfahan 84156-83111, Iran Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque is a masterpiece of Persian-Islamic architecture, quietly seated on the eastern side of Isfahan’s grand Naqsh-e Jahan Square. Unlike other mosques, it was built without minarets or a courtyard — an intimate, royal sanctuary once reserved for the Safavid elite. Its elegance lies in its exquisite tilework and perfect symmetry. The entrance corridor turns to align the prayer hall with Mecca, leading to a dome that seems to glow from within. Inside, delicate arabesques and deep blue mosaics spiral into a golden sunburst at the center. The silence, the filtered light, and the meticulous geometry all create a feeling of timeless stillness. 🕰️ Best visiting season: March to May or September to November — for pleasant weather and softer light Tips for visitors: • Arrive early morning or near sunset for the most magical light inside the dome • Modest clothing is required — respect the spiritual space • Pair with a visit to Shah Mosque and Ali Qapu Palace to understand Safavid grandeur • Photography is allowed, but silence is appreciated • Ideal for lovers of art, history, and sacred geometry #sheikhlotfollahmosque #isfahantreasures #persianarchitecture #naqshejahansquare #iranhiddengems #tileworkwonder #islamicartmasterpiece #irantravelmoments#historicallandmarks #trip
