Shah Cheragh, A Radiant Shrine of Reflections in Shiraz

The Shah Cherokee, translating to 'King of the Light' in Persian, is a significant funerary monument and mosque in Iran, known for its stunning tile and glass construction. It is the third most important pilgrimage site in Iran, initially established around 900 AD for a Shia Muslim figure. The mosque was expanded over time, with Queen Tash Khatun in the 14th century adding its iconic mirror ball decoration to amplify light. While it serves as a holy site for Shia Muslims, its beauty is appreciated by people of all faiths.
