Imam Mosque

A large and empty mosque has basically no function of worship and prayer. The main dome has been repaired, and scaffolding has been damaged and beautiful. The echo of the foot in the center of the main hall is very shocking.

The imam mosque was originally called Shah Mosque. On the south side of the imam square, the main point is the dome and the wall are extremely complex and variable geometric symmetry patterns. When it arrives here, it is just noon, the sun is strong, leaning on the temple for a while, listening to the melodious Koran in the distance...

Imam Mosques I have seen before are probably fake mosques This dome This color scheme is so beautiful! Fortunately, I met this imam here and visited this magnificent and beautiful building with his escort and explanation. Be patient and tell me why the mosque gate is tilted 45 degrees because it is ahead of Mecca. How to judge the time of worship according to the sun angle in the temple, what is the meaning of Bunker, why each stone pillar in the temple is different, why only one wall has animal tiles...because of the explanation of the imam, everything becomes vivid, rich and profound.

This is a very good place, I highly recommend it to everyone to play together.

Buy tickets for 200,000 riyals per person to enter the gate of the mosque, in fact, this gate is not the real gate. The real gate of the mosque is only seen after a passage. The first gate was to face the Imam Square, and the real gate of the mosque was in the direction of the Holy Mecca. This arrangement is considered to be both secular and religious, and the designer of the mosque is definitely a superior expert. Or according to the customary practice, first look up at the tall honeycomb porch vault at the entrance of the mosque, in Iran every mosque has a honeycomb porch vault, the mosque hall has a Persian dome. In addition to the spectacular arches of the mosque's gates, each facade is intricately patterned tiles inlaid, adding to the momentum, vividly reflecting the highest level of culture and art at the time of the mosque, which was built in the early 16th century. Entering the mosque gate, you see the huge courtyard covered with scaffolding and covered with white canvas. Only a blank space was left above the pool without water in the middle, so that the momentum of the entire mosque was greatly weakened, and we could only take the gap to see the tall minaret and the huge arches. Enter the mosque's front hall, the interior is also being renovated, and the carpets underground are rolled up and piled in corners. Without carpeted mosque compound and main hall, it also lost the characteristics of the Iranian mosque, and the grandeur of this famous mosque, but unfortunately just in time for renovation, so it can only be done with the situation. Similar to most mosques, there is nothing more to furnish in the main hall, the empty main hall has a stone on the central ground, and people standing on it can hear clear echoes, either lame or clapping. When a group of foreign tourists appeared behind, locals stood on the stones and sang the Koran under the arrangement of the tour guide. The afterglow is really like the sound of the sky, the song ends with warm applause from the surrounding Western tourists, and the tour guide handing the tip to the other party when shaking hands to express gratitude to the singer. At the mosque repair site, you can also see the repairman is burying the head carving, and there are various patterned tiles next to it, so that the restoration process can be displayed to tourists, which is also a rare scene. We stayed in the main hall of the mosque for a long time and carefully watched the tiles with different patterns. In fact, the tile patterns in the mosque are relatively monotonous. In addition to the geometric patterns, if there are flowers and plants, it will definitely let the tour guide explain for a long time. Unfortunately, we all don't understand. In the small courtyard of the mosque on both sides, there is an exhibition of modern photography. We walked into the exhibition hall, which was basically unvisited by tourists, and the pictures we saw were pictures of the US imperialist aggression against Islamic countries.

Located south of the square, the entire mosque door, walls, tops are full of exquisite mosaics, intricate lines, intoxicating Persian sky blue. The echo stone in the center of the prayer room is quite magical. Speak gently or flick the banknotes, there are clear echoes from the dome more than 30 meters high
