 | | Iranian architecture at Kavir towns is not limited to the construction of ab-anbars and badgirs, but its main importance lies in house building and city planning. | | | Iranian architecture has manifested its own particular characteristics and originality throughout its prolonged history. | | | Development of Iranian architecture can be traced also in mosques of other towns such as Masjid-i-Jameh Nayin (mid-tenth century), Masjid-i-Jameh Ardistan (circa 1180), Masjid-i-Jameh Zawareh (1153), Masjid-i-Jameh Golpayegan (12th century), and historical mosques of Tabriz and Yazd. |

| | Little remains from the early centuries of Islam in Iran, but the influence of Persia on Islamic art and architecture in Syria and Palestine is very strong. | | | Much of 4th-millennium Iranian art is strongly influenced by that of Mesopotamia. | | | Bounded by fierce mountains and deserts, the high plateau of Iran has seen the flow of many migrations and the development of many cultures, all of which have added distinctive features to the many styles of Persian art and architecture. |

| Â | Architecture of Iran, Iranian Architecture |
| | With a history of thousands of years, Iranian architecture has appeared as a variety from peasant huts, teahouses and garden pavilions to some of the most beautiful and majestic structures the world has ever seen. | | | Iranians focused their efforts on reviving their own heritage of architecture like barrel vaulting, crenellated roofs, conical squinches, big bricks, oval arches, etc. Brickworks in the form of different motifs and sometimes plasterworks over bricks were characteristics of the architecture of the early post-Islam period. | | | Some new forms were introduced in Iranian architecture by the period’s architects like a completely deep courtyard, some exaggeratedly onion formed domes and decorated entrance gates at major cities. |
