Naqsh e Jahan Square The Beating Heart of Safavid Isfahan, Where the City Breathes

The story of Naqsh-e Jahan Square begins with Shah Abbas I’s vision of creating a capital worthy of the powerful Safavid Empire. Before his reign, Isfahan’s urban center was the Old Square, also known as Atiq Square, located beside Jameh Mosque.

The Blue Mosque of Tabriz, The Turquoise of Islam and the Lost Splendor of an Empire

Unlike the traditional four iwan mosques of Iran, the Blue Mosque has a distinctive and highly unusual spatial organization. Its core is formed by a large central domed chamber, surrounded by galleries and subsidiary spaces, while the mausoleum is connected to the main domed chamber on the southern side. This spatial composition is one of the defining characteristics of the Blue Mosque and represents an important development in pre-Safavid Iranian architecture. The mosque s main dome, which collapsed during the numerous earthquakes that struck Tabriz particularly the devastating earthquake of 1780 CE once stood above the central domed chamber and played a major role in shaping the monument s monumental spatial character. Today, what survives of the dome can be studied mainly through the remaining structural traces and architectural evidence, yet even these fragments reveal the scale and remarkable structural complexity of the original building.
