Goharshad Mosque is a former free standing mosque in Mashhad of the Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran, which now serves as one of the prayer halls within the Imam Reza shrine complex. Goharshad Mosque is an ancient architecture from Timurid era in the south of Razavi Shrine that was built to the order of Goharshad, the wife of Shahrokh Timurid. Tilings of the mosque with domed arches and minarets have given a special effect to the building, such that it is turned into a whole example of Iranian art in the heart of the shrine.
