Kerman

Kerman is a city in South Central Iran, founded in about the 3rd century CE. The city has been sacked a number of times, with the current city dates mostly to the 19th century.
The 1st 4 pictures are at the Jameh Mosque which dates to the 14th century and is Kerman's Friday mosque. The 1st picture is the gate while the 2nd picture is the ceiling within that gate. The 3rd picture is the main courtyard. The arch to the left is where the 4th picture is located. The 4th picture is the Mihrab denoting the direction to Mecca. Note the depression. This is where the imam kneels to pray as a sign of humility in that he is lower than all the others.
The 5th picture is an arcade near the main bazaar. Within that structure is an extensive fruit and vegetable market.
The next 2 pictures are at the tomb of Moshtagh Ali Shah, a well-known and important Sufi mystic and musician who was stoned to death for singing the Quran. The 6th picture is his tomb and the 7th is the decorated ceiling in the mausoleum.
The 8th picture is in a traditional restaurant off the Vakil Bazaar. The 9th picture is a traditional ice house. And the 10th picture is of part of the ruins of an ancient citadel that has not been restored.Baca lagi
