Shah Mosque, 15th-century mosque in Mashhad, Iran.
The Shah Mosque features a central dome measuring 17.4 meters in height, accompanied by two separate minarets and surfaces decorated with dark-green tiles.
Construction of the mosque started during the Timurid dynasty in 1451 on the site of Amir Ghiyath al-Din's mausoleum and underwent renovations during Safavid rule.
The structure serves as both a mosque and mausoleum within the Imam Reza Shrine complex, making it an essential destination for Shia Muslim pilgrims.
The mosque contains a small directional niche indicating the qibla, while the front portico now functions as an administrative office building.
The outer dome displays turquoise tiles inscribed with Allahus-Samad text, covering an inner dome that houses a crypt attributed to Amir Ghiyath al-Din Malik Shah.
