Masjid Shah: Perbedaan antara revisi

A renaissance in Persian dome building was initiated by the [[Safavid]]s. The distinct feature of Persian domes, which separates them from those domes created in the Christian world or the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] and [[Mughal empire]]s, was the colorful tiles, with which they covered the ''exterior'' of their domes, as they would on the interior. These domes soon numbered dozens in Isfahan, and the distinct, blue-colored shape would dominate the skyline of the city. Reflecting the light of the sun, these domes appeared like glittering [[turquoise|turquoise gem]] and could be seen from miles away by travelers following the [[Silk road]] through Persia. Reaching 53 meters in height, the dome of the Masjed-e Shah would become the tallest in the city when it was finished in 1629. It was built as a double-shelled dome, with 14 meters spanning between the two layers, and resting on an octagonal dome chamber.<ref>Hattstein M., Delius P.; p. 513–514</ref>
