From the moment one steps into these ancient monuments, one gets the feeling of the grandeur of their history. Below, there are some pictures from the monument I visited. It is called the Atique/Jameh Mosque in Isfahan. I will never be able to forget the day when I visited this mosque due to the mysterious mood created by dark clouds that were going to rain.

It becomes clear from these photographs that the architect's genius helped to create such an ancient monument. The first photograph shows a big courtyard of the Jameh Mosque. Even though it is cloudy, the patterns on the walls seem magnificent. One can notice many pigeons flying and walking in the air. I watched them for quite a long time. As the birds were flying between the minarets of this ancient building, they made me feel the sensation of complete internal calmness. The only thing these birds wanted was the calm atmosphere.
The four remarkable iwans surround the courtyard of the mosque, which are among the most important features of traditional Persian mosque architecture. Their beautiful brickwork and decorations create a wonderful harmony with the open space.
