Built during the Qajar dynasty between 1876 and 1888, this landmark is a significant example of traditional Persian architecture. It is often referred to as the Pink Mosque due to the prevalence of rose-colored tiles throughout its structure. The mosque features intricate tile work, muqarnas, and the traditional Panj Kāse design.
The western prayer hall is characterized by two rows of six twisted stone columns that support tiled domes. This space is most notable for its stained-glass doors and windows. When sunlight passes through these windows, especially at sunrise or during the morning hours, the interior is illuminated by a kaleidoscopic light display across the floors and walls.
Covering an area of 2,414 square meters, the site is recognized as a National Cultural Heritage Site. The mosque is open to the public and remains a prominent religious and cultural landmark.
