Panjob masjidi

Panjob Masjidi is an Islamic mosque in Shahrisabz with a rectangular layout and a prominent minaret on its exterior. The interior stands supported by four columns and displays ornamental decorations throughout, including wooden panels, tile mosaics, and carved plaster elements.

The building was constructed in earlier centuries and blends Islamic with Iranian design principles that were widespread in Central Asia at that time. This mix of different architectural traditions makes it a record of the region's cultural exchange.

The walls display colored tiles with geometric patterns and Quranic verses that local craftsmen placed with great care throughout the space. Blue and green glazes create a harmonious decoration that fills the interior.

Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and remove their shoes at designated areas to enter the space. It is important to maintain quiet during prayer times and use the space respectfully.

The building contains a four-chambered prayer hall with wooden structural elements that are typical of the region's building practices. These woodworks remain visible today and show the craftsmanship required for such constructions.
