What will be an ideal response?
During the 12th century, Persian architecture inspired a new form of mosque, such as the Friday Mosque at Isfahan. The entrance is a large vaulted chamber whose pointed arch is set in a rectangular frame, an iwan, covered with blue glazed mosaic tile, which was a specialty of Persian artists. Four sides of the mosque's courtyard are set with an iwan, which became a standard configuration in Persia, and into Egypt. The Taj Mahal in India is based on Persian architectural forms, and each of its four facades is set with an iwan.
