Shoghakat Church of Tabriz

The Shoghakat Church or Shoghagat Church (Armenian: Թաւրիզի Սուրբ Շողակաթ եկեղեցի, Շողակաթ եկեղեցի, T’avrizhi Surb Shoghakat yekeghets’i, Persian: کلیسای شوغاگات مقدس) is an Armenian Apostolic church in Tabriz, East Azerbaijan province, Iran completed in 1940.

History In old times, the Armenian Christians of Tabriz used to bury their deceased at the cemetery near Mariam-Nanna Church in Maralan. In the 1850s, the land of the new Armenian cemetery of Tabriz was purchased by the Diocese of Tabriz when Sahak Satunyan was bishop. However, the church was built only in the 20th century. Construction of Saint Shoghakat Church was financed by Simon Manocherian, a leather-manufacturing director whose mother's name was Shoghakat, and completed in 1940. The name of the church refers to a ray of light (Շողակաթ) that came down from heaven upon 38 Armenian nuns martyred by the pagan Armenian King Trdat around AD 301 at the site of the famous original Shoghakat Church of Etchmiadzin in Armenia built in the 6th century. Seeing Heaven's Light, Trdat converted to Christendom, and Armenia became the first Christian country. Architecture The shape of the church is rectangular with four square columns located in the middle carrying the dome, dividing the interior into two naves on both sides and a wider main nave in the middle. The entrance to the building is on the western side facing the sanctuary in the east. The exterior stone facades of the church are framed with semicircular and oval arches on north, south and west side.

The mausoleum contains the remains of Sayyid Hassan Modarres, a prominent Shi'ite cleric who formerly served as a cabinet representative of the Islamic Consultative Assembly.

Jameh Mosque of Shushtar

The Jameh Mosque of Shushtar (Persian: مسجد جامع شوشتر, romanized: Masjid-e Jameh'e Shooshtar; Arabic: جامع تستر) is a Shi'ite Friday mosque located in Shushtar, in the province of Khuzestan, Iran. The mosque was completed during the Abbasid Caliphate of Hasan al-Askari, who ruled during the 9th century CE. The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 3 March 1937, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.

Ali Dome

The Ali Dome (Persian: گنبد عالی, romanized: Gonbad-e Ali; Arabic: قبة عالي) is a mausoleum tower located in Abarkuh, in the province of Yazd, Iran. The mausoleum was completed in the Seljuk style in c. 1056 CE on the order of Firuzan, a son of Amir Shams ad-Dowleh ibn Ali Hezarasb, a Daylamite ruler. The mausoleum is the resting place for Ali Hezarasb and his mother. The mausoleum was added to the Iran National Heritage List on July, 31 1933 and is administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran. Architecture Built at the summit of a small desert hill, the tomb consists of an octagonal chamber that sits on a low base with eight unequal sides and a tall, projecting muqarnas cornice. The four longer sides of the base are coplanar with four sides of the octagonal chamber above. The chamber tapers inward on the exterior so that the structure is wider at the bottom than it is below the cornice. The entrance to the chamber is located on the northeast side of the building. The structure is domed, but the extension of the cornice beyond this dome suggests that it was also capped by a pyramidal roof, as was customary for tombs in this region. The tomb is constructed almost entirely of rubble masonry with brick used only in the inscriptions and in the construction of the interior dome. The walls are left plain while the cornice and the entrance receive most of the decorative treatment. The cornice of the monument is a three-tier muqarnas, which tapers outward. Below the muqarnas is a band of Kufic inscriptions in Arabic containing the name of the builder and the name of the person to whom it was dedicated. The entry is set inside a deep niche crowned by a semi-vault and placed within a rectangular outer frame. The entrance is flanked by two columns, of which only the cavities remain. Inside the niche, above the doorway, is another inscription, written in Kufic style that refers to the patron's mother as "seiyyeda", although her full name is not decipherable. Unlike the tombs in Maragha, this tomb has no crypt. The interior of the octagonal chamber is bare, and except for the remains of a plaster mihrab, is faced with the same rubble construction seen on the outside. A band of niches, two on each side, decorate the walls below the drum. The transition to the drum is achieved with eight simple squinches located at the corners of the octagon. Four openings in the dome and a window on the side of the chamber illuminate the interior.

Seyyed Mosque (Isfahan)

The Seyyed Mosque (Persian: مسجد سید; Arabic: مسجد السيد) is a Twelver Shi'ite mosque and madrasa, located in Isfahan, Isfahan province, Iran. It was built in the late 19th century, during the Qajar era, by the Shi'ite cleric Mohammad Bagher Shafti, one of the first clerics to receive the rank of Hujjatul Islam. The mosque itself is active, however, as of July 2024, its construction was incomplete, with restoration work in progress. The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 20 June 1958, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran, the Endowments and Charity Affairs Organization, and other organizations. History Construction of the mosque started in 1825 CE. It was built over an older plot of land planned for a mosque that was formerly owned by the Safavid ruler, Soltan Hoseyn, but a mosque could not be built there until the Qajar era due to the invasion of the Hotaks and the ensuing instability. After the death of Mohammad Bagher Shafti, only the tiling of the southern part of the mosque was completed. He was buried in the northeastern section of the mosque as well. The grandson of the cleric and subsequent descendants assisted in continuing the construction of the mosque. Inscriptions date the whole construction process to be around 130 years, divided into four stages. In the 1980s, the mosque was damaged during the Iran–Iraq War. It was then neglected due to disputes amongst the remaining family of Bagher Shafti. In 2023, restoration and renovation works were planned to be carried out, that had stalled by mid-2024. Architecture The plan and base of the Seyyed Mosque is generally a rectangular shape. The mosque has two domes, the smaller, northeastern one over the mausoleum of Mohammad Bagher Shafti and his family. The mosque has four main iwans leading to it, as well as a lot of corridors within the structure. The exterior of the mosque is enhanced with Qajar-era decorative tiling. The mosque does not have a minaret. Instead, it has a tall clock tower, located behind one of the iwans. In general, the architecture of the mosque, especially the window design is student-friendly, so that it could be used as a school or madrasah in the 19th century as well.

В 1995 – 1998 роках на майданчику станції ввели в дію шість встановлених на роботу у відкритому циклі газових турбін потужністю по 123,4 Мт. В 2002 році станцію доповнили котлами-утилізаторами та трьома паровими турбінами потужністю по 98,3 МВт, створивши таким чином три парогазові блоки комбінованого циклу потужністю по 345 МВт. Станція розрахована на споживання природного газу. На момент її появи блакитне паливо до регіону надходило по трубопроводу Бід-Боланд – Мервдешт, а в 2000-х роках до Ширазу вивели перемичку від газотранспортного коридора, де проходять трубопроводи IGAT IV та IGAT VIII.
