Get a glimpse into the planet's most captivating architecture with these 10 beautiful buildings.
6. Emam Mosque, Iran
Headlining beside one of the world's largest squares, Esfahan's Emam Mosque is a tiled wonder. Completely covered, inside and out, with pale blue and yellow ceramic tiles (which are an Esfahan trademark), it's a stunning 17th-century mosque, with its tiles seeming to change colour depending on the light conditions. The main dome is 54 m high and intricately patterned in a stylized floral mosaic, while the magnificent 30 m-high portal is a supreme example of architectural styles from the Safavid period (1502 - 1772). The mosque sits askew to the square, at about 45 degrees, so that it faces Mecca.
