Shah Cheragh shrine, Sacred mausoleum in Shiraz, Iran
The Shah Cheragh shrine features a central dome, two towering minarets, and intricate mirror mosaics covering the interior walls and ceiling surfaces.
The tomb dates back to the 12th century and contains the remains of Ahmad ibn Musa, the eldest son of the seventh Shia Imam Musa al-Kadhim.
The shrine contains numerous halls adorned with Persian calligraphy, traditional Iranian tile work, and decorative mirror fragments that reflect light throughout the space.
Visitors must remove shoes before entering the shrine, and women are required to wear provided chadors, with separate entrances and prayer areas for men and women.
The name Shah Cheragh translates to 'King of Light' due to the discovery of the burial site through a mysterious illumination observed by local residents.
