Description

The Great Mosque or Friday Mosque (مسجد جامع) of Ajab Shir (عجب شير‎‎) in East Azerbaijan Province, Iran, is of a very rare style in that it is built of wood. It dates to the Safavid dynasty (1501-1736), which is generally considered to be the great age of Iran after the fall of the Sasanid Empire.

I like how colourful the the timbers are - beautiful decoration! Iran is certainly full of wonders dating from various periods - still, Sassanids are my absolute favourites :) Thank you for sharing!
