The Hypnotizing Beauty Of Iranian Mosque Ceilings
Middle Eastern architecture is renowned for its kaleidoscopic beauty. If you haven’t had a chance, yet, to witness it for yourself, Instagram photographer m1rasoulifard can take you on a mesmerizing visual journey. He captures the best of Iran’s architectural details in his hypnotizing photos.
From the Jāmeh Mosque, one of the oldest still standing in Iran, to Chahār Bāgh school, the photographer aims to show the history of Iranian architecture and design.
For more Iranian mosque interiors, you can also have a look at this post. Because they are historic structures, many of these mosques also impose heavy restrictions on photography, so these photos are a real treat!

Engineering, architecture and art in the same expression... is a shame that politics deprive the world of been able to be in front of such an exquisite expression of the human soul....
These mosque ceilings are mesmerizing! The architecture of these structures is absolutely gorgeous! ~AM
hi , im iranian photographer and im agree with you :) facebook/salinpictures.ir
Mirrors in wall and ceiling of Imam Reza Holy shrine, Mashhad, Iran photoaqrir...velaie.jpg 
Hafez Tomb is not a mosque. Hafez was a 14th century Poet, very popular in Persian world as well as South Asia.
Incredible art and detail. It's so heartbreaking when these ancient sites are damaged.
I dream of going to Iran. I also want to explore the area around the Caspian Sea.
Maybe next time use a reflex and don't overprocess the photographs ;) This is really giving me a headick
Эти шедевры архитектуры, были спроектированы и воздвигнуты при правлении Тюркских династий Персии.
So you're saying that this is all the result of Turkish architects / artists?
