Iranian architecture has a long history spanning over 5,000 years, developing gradually based on preceding traditions. Some key characteristics include an emphasis on form and scale, inventive structural designs like vaults and domes, and rich decorative elements. Traditional Iranian architecture is also guided by cosmic symbolism connecting humans to heavenly powers.

These influences have contributed to a distinctive architectural style across Greater #Iran, from humble structures to grand palaces and mosques.
