The Nasir-ol-Molk Mosque, also known as the Pink Mosque, is a Qajar-era mosque in Shiraz, in the province of Fars, Iran, completed in 1888. Built with tile, brick, and stone, the mosque exemplifies the architectural style of its period and is distinguished by extensive stained glass in its façade, which refracts sunlight to striking effect at sunrise. The design incorporates traditional elements such as the Panj Kāse ("five concaved") pattern. Located in the Gowd-e Araban district south of Lotfali Khan Zand Street, near the Shāh Chérāgh Mosque, it was added to the Iran National Heritage List in 1955 and has become a major tourist attraction in the city.
