Goharshad Mosque<\/strong> stands within the Imam Reza shrine complex in Mashhad<\/a>, immediately south of the mausoleum. The mosque combines an open courtyard, four iwans and a domed prayer sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tile mosaic, brick patterns and calligraphic bands are the main details to look for. Archnet describes floral tile designs alternating with geometric brick schemes around the courtyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mosque was fitted among buildings already standing at the shrine. Its iwans have different depths, so the courtyard is not a uniform composition. Compare these differences when studying its plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distinguish the mosque from the wider Imam Reza shrine complex<\/a> when planning a visit. Mashhad Municipality\u2019s Visiting Mashhad guidance<\/a> lists Goharshad Mosque as off limits to non-Muslims, while identifying other parts of the complex that they may visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
