Shah Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in the city of Isfahan, Central Persia (now Iran). It was built in 16th Century durin Safavid Dynasty, more specifically Shah Abbas the Great. This was the last time Persia was a glorious kingdom, being equal to its European counterparts.

 

This is the main entrance of the mosque. The door is made of wood and metal plates.

 

This was shot around 1999-2000, with my very first SLR, a Russian-made Zenit, on an 35mm ISO 100 color film.
