Blue Mosque, Islamic monument in Tabriz, Iran.
The Blue Mosque is a house of prayer in Tabriz featuring a central dome and extensive tilework in shades of blue covering the walls. The structure combines architectural elements with geometric and floral patterns that define both interior and exterior surfaces.
The building was constructed in 1465 under the Kara Koyunlu dynasty. A severe earthquake in 1780 destroyed much of the structure, but the remains were later restored.
The mosque displays Persian craftsmanship through its detailed tilework and calligraphic inscriptions visible on the walls. Visitors experience the importance of these artistic forms in Islamic tradition as they move through the space.
The site is accessible to visitors throughout the year and offers restroom facilities and a gift shop. Guided tours are available in multiple languages to help visitors understand the architecture and history.
Underground tombs lie beneath the floor and were found during restoration work, believed to belong to Sultan Jahanshah and his daughter. These hidden chambers represent an important part of the site's history that many visitors overlook.
