The story

I captured this series of photos at the Jameh Mosque of Isfahan (Masjed-e Jāmé of Isfahan) while leading a small group tour in Iran in May 2022. Located near the central Naghsh-e Jahan Square, it stands as one of Iran's largest and most significant monuments of Islamic architecture. It is also among the city's oldest historical landmarks.

The Jameh Mosque of Isfahan, also known as the Friday Mosque of Isfahan, is the result of continuous construction, reconstruction, additions and renovations at this site from about 771 until the end of the 20th century. The monument used to be a Zoroastrian fire temple. Over the centuries, it was greatly expanded by various rulers. Each part of the mosque represents the architectural art of a particular era.
