Sunlight Transforms This Mosque

The Nasir-ul-Mulk Mosque, or Pink Mosque, stands in the middle of Shiraz, Iran, and is one of the most beautiful buildings created by man. The mosque stands apart from any other architectural work of art on the planet.

Every day, when the sun hits the mosque, the whole building is flooded with a rainbow of color which will surely enchant anyone who visits it. Colors from the stained glass dance across the floor in every shade imaginable, while the walls and ceilings glow with intricately painted colors of their own. The breathtaking mosque was built from 1876 to 1888 and has been a sight of beauty since then. The exterior of the mosque is visible from a distance and onlookers can tell that it is covered in every color under the sun.
