(Seljuk art)

Note NB The Great Mosque at Isfahan introduced 4 large vaulted halls, eyvans, one opening onto the central court from each of its sides: ‘it broke up into 4 areas what had for centuries been a characteristic of the mosque: its single, unified space.’** This feature, and the dome also found in the Great Mosque, became characteristic of Seljuq mosques. Two other features found in Isfahan*** – the tower and the formal gateway – are characteristic Iranian forms.****
