IQNA – The Blue Mosque in Tabriz, Iran, also known as Masjed-e Kabud, is a historic mosque built in 1465 during the reign of the Qara Qoyunlu dynasty.

It's renowned for its stunning blue tiles and intricate tilework, which give it the nickname "Turquoise of Islam." Despite being heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1780, restoration efforts began in 1973. The mosque remains a significant example of Islamic architecture and a major tourist attraction in Tabriz, East Azarbaijan Province.
