Kerman

Kerman has a number of interesting sights to visit. Masjid-e-Jom'e or Friday Mosque is one of them. It was built in the 14th Century during the Safavid Dynasty.

The Mosque is considered to be the most fabulous structure in the city. It is located in the main square of "Shohada".

The Mosque is designed in the classical Iranian model with four iwans (verandahs). It has a wonderful blue faience featuring shades of blue from turquoise to ultramarine, creating a vertical horizon of smooth shimmering tiles. The wall of the Mihrab (altar) and the central dome are also decorated with admirable geometric compositions. The altar is open to the public.
