Nasir-ol-Molk Mosque
مسجد نصیرالملک
A Qajar-era mosque. In the early morning, sunlight passes through the colored glass and fills the winter prayer hall and its Persian carpets with light.
The Nasir-ol-Molk Mosque, also known as the Pink Mosque, was built between 1876 and 1888. It gets its name from the abundant pink tiles used in its decoration. The highlight is the winter prayer hall on the west side. In the early morning, sunlight passes through the stained-glass windows and casts colorful patterns across the carpets and stone columns. The best time is about 8:00–10:00. Foreign visitors pay a separate ticket price. The mosque is most crowded when it opens, so arrive right at opening time. Women must wear a headscarf.
