Although, from outside it looks simple but believe me, that's not a case if you enter in it. Vakil Mosque is beautiful indeed which dates back to 275 years ago. It's courtyrad is big. The 48 carved marble columns are the main feature of this mosque. Colorful detailed mosaic work on walls & ceiling is amazing for those who have an interest in the rich architectural heritage around the world. Unfortunately, there is a enterance fee for tourists which is a stupid act. Religious monuments/Buildings, Shrines/Tombs of Religious personalities & poets are not meant for earning money. So, I always get disturb on such stupid steps of governments in any country. There must be a free enterance!!!

The north side of Vakil mosque behind the entrance hall has a very large and magnificent arch known as the Pearl Arch. Its span is 12 meters and the height is 20 meters. On the two left and right piers of the house pearl vault is been tiled, adorned with floral and shrub drawings, leaves and other designs. At the bottom of the arches of this vault there are sentences written in the Naskh handwriting. On each side of this vault, four smaller arches form the narrow porch. The porch is 5 meters wide and its piers are covered with colored tiles that have the names of flowers and shrubs and God's names. Above the pearl arch there are two beautifully tiled Minaret.

I had been expecting to visit this mosque for a very long time and I wasn’t disappointed when I finally got to witness it. Undoubtedly, the Vakil mosque was one the most beautiful ones I saw during my trip to Iran. The courtyard was particularly beautiful at sunset and inside the holy shrine building there were so many columns I couldn’t count it. Definitely this is one of the top tourist attractions in the country.

Very beautiful mosque in the entrance of Shiraz old bazaar. It's pedestals are undoubtedly amazing!

Beautiful mosque with Iranian art.With 300 years old. Visit this place with peace and security. The Iranian people are very culturally and civilized. They are kind and respect foreign tourists.

If you want to go there, go before 9 a.m. In the morning colours and windows are wonderful and breath taking. You can spine in beautiful colour, but be careful about local gaurd. They don't let you to spine, especially if you are woman. There are about 3 masque near there, too.

There are places of worship throughout the world that can claim to be extraordinarily beautiful in design and form. The Vakil Mosque in Shiraz, southern Iran, situated to the west of the Vakil Bazaar is just such a holy site. Shiraz is located in the southwest of Iran on the Khoshk seasonal river. Shiraz has a moderate climate and has been a regional trade center for more than one thousand years. The earliest reference to the city, as Tiraziš, is on Elamite clay tablets dated to 2000 BC. In the 13th century, Shiraz became a leading center of the arts and letters, thanks to the encouragement of its ruler and the presence of many Persian scholars and artists. Shiraz was the capital of Persia during the Zand dynasty from 1750 until 1781, as well as briefly during the Saffarid period. Shiraz is known as the city of poets, literature, wine and flowers. The word "shir" in Persian means "lion", but it could also mean "milk". It is also considered by many Iranians to be the city of gardens, due to the many gardens and fruit trees that can be seen in the city.

On the way to Vakil Bazaar, you come across this beautiful Mosque. Vakil Mosque is a unique example of Persian architecture, with intricate designs in the tiles. The art work in the building is eye-pleasingly beautiful.

A good mosque, but not as photogenic as other mosques in Shiraz The monolithic stone columns inside the mosque are quite remarkable and are worth seeing. The mosque itself is beautiful and would be an attraction for many cities. However, in Shiraz, there are more photogenic and older mosques, so only visit this one if you have time.

The oldest mosque with perfect view at the middle of Shiraz. A province of Iran which I would love to visit it again again with its wonderful architecture. Vakil mosque is one of those sites which relax your mind

This place is really peacful and it has a lot of beauti, in paintings and shapes. when you get in the mosque your eyes cant stop watching the roof and columnes. architects just built it this way to make people look the dirction of god's place in the sky.

Beautiful historic mosque set in the Vakil square, must see7

Breathtaking… amazing, unique, magical place! In Shiraz you must visit!

The entrance is very expensive compared to a mosque. 200000 Rials.

Another impressive mosque but it was quite interesting not seeing anyone praying at the prayer time.

Beautiful mosque with an impressive interior full with carpets.

One of the oldest mosques in Shiraz . Make sure you'll visit there.

The mosque is near the Vakil Bazaar in Shiraz, and it is one of the most beautiful places in Shiraz. There is an extraordinary visual effect to this mosque due to the symmetry in its section. The cool space inside the courtyards is another interesting feature. Here are some photos I took here. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Magnificent design + vast & beautiful yard
