The Nasir al-Mulk Masjid or Pink Masjid is a traditional masjid in Shiraz,
Iran. When someone brings up historical architecture, we picture beautiful
arches, towering spires, sculptures and stone walls, but most of us probably
don’t think of bright and vibrant colors. Nasir al-Molk Masjid, as illustrated
by these photographs, is a striking and strong exception to the idea that
historical structures might have been somewhat lacking in colors. Not only are
its stained-glass windows richly colored, but its walls feature a beautiful and
vibrantly colorful array of painted geometric tiles.
