Amir Chakhmaq Mosque

The Amir Chakhmaq Mosque (Persian: مسجد امیرچخماق‎), also known as Dahouk mosque (Persian: مسجد دهوک‎), is a historical mosque from the Timurid era in Yazd, in Iran. It was built on orders of Jalal ed-Din Amir Chakhmaq Shami, who was the governor of Yazd and a general of Shahrukh Mirza. The mosque was completed in 1438. From the viewpoint of aesthetics, dimension and importance, it is one of the most outstanding buildings in Yazd.[1]

gollark: Slightly unoptimized and buggy hash tables, linked lists even though they're generally awful datastructures because they're easy to implement, actually I can't think of other instances immediately.
