TABRIZ, Iran - 2nd March 2013

By: ipuenktchen

our first place to see was the famous BLUE MOSQUE, registered at the tentative list of UNESCO. hopefully one day it will be a world heritage site!

this view is taken from entrance of *bustane khaghani*, khaghani's garden. khaghani was an ancient poet, burried in tabriz! - See more at:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khaqani

the blue mosque was built about 550 years ago and destroyed by an earthquake in 1779. only the entrance (at its back side) remained! in 1973 they started to rebuilt it and when ipue in 1976 moved to tabriz they were just closing the dome!!! about 30 years they were painting out the mosque matching to the new rules of unesco, that there have to notice a difference between original parts and restored parts! it's perhaps the most famous brick mosque of IR.
