Active mosque with prayers inside. Tickets are $2 per person. Nice decoration inside
This is a pinnacle in Islamic and Iranian architectural art. A shrine dating back to 600 years ago with outstanding blue tiles which it gets its name from. Inside the mosque there's a guide that dedicated his research on studying this place and knows a lot from every corner of the shrine. This place was made by the order of Jahanshah and he and his wife are buried inside of it, just like Taj Mahal in India. Highly recommended.
The mosque was severely damaged in an earthquake in 1780, leaving only the iwan (entrance hall).Reconstruction began in 1973 by Reza Memaran Benam under the supervision of Iranian Ministry of Culture. However, it is still incomplete.
The blue mosque is a well known monument in Tabriz. Constructed around 1465 it was destroyed in an earthquake around 300 years later. It took another 200 years for it to be reconstructed by a famous architect from Tabriz and is now in use again. You can enter it and wander around admiring the eautiful tiles and the reconstruction. Very recommendable.
Turquoise Of Islam is the title of this special mosque because of the blue color you can find original parts of the mosque.It was built during JahanShah Kara Koyunlu in 14656. In 1779 an earthquake damaged most of the mosque including it's special domes and for 150 years ruins were left there but a restoration project 1939-1977 was done on this historical site and made it like what today you can visit.
Cannot really complain about the price, but 150.000 entrance fee feels a bit hefty compared to the cost of other things here. The inside is accessible and has intact blue tiles, but there isn't a lot too see. The outside used to have the blue tiles as well, but apart from the front side, most is gone.
Perhaps this Mosque does not have the beauties of other mosques in Isfahan and Shiraz but it is quite unique in Iran due to the original blue of its interiors. Unfortunately an earthquake destroyed most of the building, which is now a mix between the glorious past and the daily reconstruction.
The mosque was built in 1465, massive stone dome and extensive blue tiles used to decorate it. Unfortunately there was an earthquake in th 1770's which damaged the art work. The repair work is still ongoing. Would say it needs quite some time, as it looked like not even 50% done. The exterior is still missing most of its outer casing of tiles.
