Friday Mosque(Yazd)13 September |
The Friday Mosque in Yazd has been constructed on the spot of a former Fire Temple. That mosque is famous for its completely tile-covered entrance and the two slim minarets on the sides. Its portal is the highest one of all Iranian mosques. The complex consists of a courtyard, surrounded by a single story arcade on three sides and an iwan on the southern façade. The Friday Mosque is considered to be the best preserved building dating from the time around 1400. |  |
