Wait Til You See What Happens When The Sunlight Hits This Place… WHOA!

The exterior of the mosque is already beautiful. You can tell from a distance that every surface is covered in color. But when you’re inside and the sunlight hits, it’s magical.

In the middle of Shiraz, Iran, there is one of the most beautiful things any human will ever see. The Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, also known as the Pink Mosque, stands apart from so many other architectural wonders I have ever seen. Every day, when the sunlight hits the mosque, the entire building is flooded with a rainbow of color. Almost every color imaginable dances across the floor. The walls and ceilings, intricately painted, glow bright with their colors.

It’ll take your breath away.

The mosque’s construction began in 1876 and was completed in 1888.
