Summary

Description

العربية: منظرٌ سُفليٌّ لِإيوان المدخل الرئيسي لِمسجد الشاه، بِأصفهان، في إيران. صُنِّف هذا المسجد كأحد مواقع التُراث العالمي، وهو أحد أقدم المباني في إيران التي ما تزال قائمة حتَّى اليوم، وقد أُعيد تصميمه وتعميره في الكثير من المرَّات مُنذُ أن خُطِّط سنة 771 وُصولًا إلى القرن العشرين الميلاديّ.

Български: Под айвана на главния вход на Шахската джамия в Исфахан, Иран. Изграждането на джамията, която е обект на световното културно наследство на ЮНЕСКО, започва през 1611 г. по заповед на Абас I Велики. Храмът е смятан за един от шедьоврите на персийската ислямска архитектура.

Čeština: Pohled zespodu na íván u hlavního vstupu do Šáhovy mešity v Isfahánu, Írán. Mešita patří do Světového dědictví UNESCO a její stavba započala v roce 1611 v období panování dynastie Safíovců rozhodnutím šáha Abbáse I. Velikého. Je považována za jednu z nejlepších staveb perské architektury v islámském období.

English: Bottom view of the iwan of the main entrance to the Shah Mosque, Isfahan, Iran.

Français : Vue en contre-plongée de l'iwan de la mosquée du Chah à Ispahan, en Iran. Cette mosquée, inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, fut construite pour le souverain safavide Chah Abbas Ier entre 1612 et 1630.

Magyar: Az iszfaháni nagymecset bejárata (Iszfahán, Irán)

한국어: 이란 이스파한 소재 이스파한의 자메 모스크로 향하는 중앙출입구의 이완을 아래에서 본 모습. 유네스코 세계유산인 이 모스크는 이란의 현존하는 가장 오랜 건물 중 하나로, 771년에 세워진 이후 20세기까지 계속 그 구조를 바꿔 왔다.

Македонски: Нагорен поглед на влезниот ејван на Шаховата џамија во Исфахан, Иран.

Nederlands: Hoofdiwan van de Koningsmoskee in de Iraanse stad Isfahan

Polski: Widok sklepienia głównego ejwanu meczetu Królewskiego w Isfahanie, w Iranie. Budowę wpisanego na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO meczetu rozpoczęto w 1611 roku z rozkazu Abbasa I Wielkiego z dynastii Safawidów. Jest uważany za jedno z arcydzieł architektury perskiej epoki islamu.
