Khorasani style

The Khorasani style (Persian: شیوه معماری خراسانی‎, IPA: /sæbk ɛ xoɾɑsɑni/) is an architectural style (sabk) when categorizing Iranian architecture development in history. It is the first style of architecture appearing after the Muslim conquest of Persia, but is highly influenced by pre-Islamic designs.[1] Landmarks of this style appear in the late 7th century, and span through the end of the 10th century CE.[2]

For the Persian poetic style, see Khorasani style (poetry).

Examples of this style are Mosque of Nain, Tarikhaneh-i Damghan, and Jame mosque of Isfahan

  • Mosque of Nain: Na'in has one of Iran's oldest mosques still standing.
  • Ardestan Congregation Mosque
gollark: Marriage digraph WHEN?
gollark: Sounds highly enforceable.
gollark: Oh, yes, true. I think that should be updated to create an arbitrary marriage digraph.
gollark: This isn't a plain optimal stopping problem situation.
gollark: Divorce is totally a thing.
