Kaleidoscope Mosque

The Nasir al-mulk Mosque in Shiraz, Iran, was built from 1876 to 1888 by the order of one of the Qajar Dynasty lords and was designed by Muhammad Hasan-e-Memar and Muhammad Reza Kashi Paz-e-Shirazi. Entering the building is like walking into a kaleidoscope. The effect is created by sun shining through the stained-glass windows.
