The Nasir-ol-Molk Mosque (Persian: مسجد نصیرالملک, romanized: Masjed-e Nasir ol-Molk; Arabic: مسجد نصير الملك), also known as the Pink Mosque (Persian: مسجد صورتی, romanized: Masjed-e Surati), is a mosque located in Shiraz, in the province of Fars, Iran. Completed in 1888 CE, the Qajar era mosque is located in the Gowd-e Araban district of Shiraz, south of Lotfali Khan Zand Street, next to the Shāh Chérāgh Mosque. The mosque includes extensive stained glass in its façade, and displays other traditional elements such as the Panj Kāse ("five concaved") design. The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List in 1955, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran. It is a major tourist attraction in Shiraz, especially at sunrise when sunlight hits the stained glass.
