The Royal Mosque of Isfahan

Architectures series

Editor(s) of the series: Richard Copans, Stan Neumann

 The "Architectures" series highlights a selection of the world's most significant monuments, considering each with regard to its historical and geographical context. Each film pays equal attention to the inside and outside of the building in question.

Director(s): Richard Copans

Scientific advisor(s): Sophie Makariou

The early 17th-century Royal Mosque in Isfahan—a masterpiece of Persian architecture—resembles a petrified garden on a desert plateau. Oriented toward Mecca, it is a clearly religious edifice that is also a gathering place for the people of the town.
