Blue Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif

TEHRAN (IQNA) – The Blue Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, was built by sultan Ahmed Sanjar, a Seljuq king.

It was destroyed during the invasion of Genghis Khan around 1220. In the 15th century Sultan Husayn Mirza Bayqarah rebuilt the mosque. It is by far the most important landmark in Mazar-i-Sharif.
