Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque: A Beautiful Place in IsfahanWhen I visited Isfahan, everyone told me to see the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque. I had seen pictures of it before, but being there in person was even better. The mosque is small compared to others, but it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.The mosque is on the eastern side of Naqsh-e Jahan Square, a huge and famous square in Isfahan.
As I walked across the square, I saw the mosque’s lovely dome. It wasn’t very big, but the colors and patterns on it were amazing. The tiles were a mix of blue, cream, and turquoise, and they looked different as the sunlight changed. I stood there for a while, just looking at the dome.When I entered the mosque, it felt quiet and peaceful. Unlike most mosques, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque does not have a tall minaret or a big courtyard. It was built as a private place for the royal family to pray, so it feels smaller and more special.
Inside the mosque, everything was covered in beautiful designs. The walls and ceiling were decorated with blue and gold tiles that had perfect patterns and writings from the Quran. I couldn’t believe how much work must have gone into making them. Everywhere I looked, there was something amazing to see.The mihrab, the part of the mosque that shows the direction of Mecca, was my favorite. It had the most detailed tiles and patterns. It felt like standing in front of a piece of history.
One thing I found really interesting was the mosque’s entrance. When you go inside, the hallway turns, so you can’t see the prayer hall right away. This makes the mosque feel more private and quiet. The light inside comes from small windows in the dome, which makes the whole space feel calm and warm.I sat on the floor for a while, looking up at the dome and the walls. It was so peaceful, and I felt like I was in a special place.When I left, the sun was setting, and the dome was glowing softly in the evening light. It was a perfect moment, and I knew I would never forget this visit.
The Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque is not just a building; it’s a piece of art. If you ever go to Isfahan, you should visit it. It’s a beautiful, quiet place where you can feel the history and see amazing designs. I loved my time there and hope to visit again someday.
