One of four entrance gates. - eleven small domes multiplied by 2 represent one of the many ways that the 22 years of construction are represented.
Zoom (if you can) to your hearts content and observe the colored inlays of semiprecious stones in the marble - also note the wonderful optical illusion (one of the many architectural features) by which the arabic verses from the Holy Koran among other vertical lines appear to be as narrow at the top as at the bottom.
The four Minahs are leaning outwards to ensure that in the case of an earthquake they will fall outwards.
Cloe up of the beautiful inlays that create the floral patterns that glint in both sunlight and moonlight.
