The Blue Mosque, locally known as Goy Masjid, is one of Tabriz’s most iconic landmarks. Its stunning turquoise and cobalt tilework has earned it the title of “The Turquoise of Islam.”The mosque was built in 1465 CE (870 AH) by Jahan Shah Qara Qoyunlu and his wife Saleheh Khatun, designed by the architect Ustad Nematollah ibn Mohammad al-Bavarjini, during the Qara Qoyunlu dynasty. A massive earthquake in 1779 (1193 AH) destroyed most of the mosque, leaving only parts of the entrance. Major restoration efforts took place in the 20th century (Pahlavi II era). Today, the Blue Mosque stands as a symbol of Tabriz’s cultural heritage. Despite the loss of many original sections, its restored parts and grand entrance portal attract visitors from around the world.
