The Safavid era Shaia Mosque and Ismail shrine - Isfahan, Iran - The 2nd of November 2018


Hamid felt we shouldn't leave Isfahan without visiting the Shaia Mosque and Ismail shrine dating back to the Safavid era, which is not contemplated in most of the tourist visits. The whole ensemble was impressive, particularly in regars to the decorative elements and the ceilings. On one of the walls outside the mausoleum itself we came across many expressed requests written by visitors, some of which Hamid took the time to translate for us. I must confess I was impressed by some of those and wondered to which extent they would be "satisfied".
