While entering it the huge arch and outstanding door distract you completely and invite you to visit a gorgeous place in heaven. Every single tile in this mosque tries to tell you a story. On the left side towards Mecca the roof represents more than a hundred names of Allah in an especial way. Then you enter a nice hall which is a great chapel on which a beautiful dome shows its glory to you. You also recognize some motifs from Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, Shia and Sunni Islam which proves that this place was an agreement and a contract between different religious Iranians to prove that Iran is a peaceful place for all the religions to get along with each other.

    

Right after that the big yard draws your attention by its huge stage which used to be a place to say prayer on.

If you continue your way towards the back door you find a door for the winter chapel right in underground of the yard and the staircases to the Ghanat or water canal.
