This is also at Isfahan, Sheikh Lotfolla Mosque

Lol, I watched a video in my Middle Eastern architecture class and it had a lot to do with Abbas. Isfahan has a prominent Jewish community that is said to have been put there Cyrus the great but most scholars believe they arrived there during Sassanid times. There's also a large Armenian Christian community in the city and they have a really nice basillica

...

I just realized the video mentioned palace of Ardeshir aswell...as an example of Sassanian domed buildings

I hate you, ban him mods, it's not historic, please for fuck's sake I want him banned

The Castle of Zafra is a 12th-century castle located in the municipality of Campillo de Dueñas, in Guadalajara, Spain. Built by the Kingdom of Aragon in the late 12th or early 13th centuries on a sandstone outcrop in the Sierra de Caldereros, it stands on the site of a former Visigothic and Moorish fortification that fell into Christian hands in 1129. It had considerable strategic importance as a virtually impregnable defensive work on the border between Christian and Muslim-ruled territory. The castle was never conquered and was successfully defended against the King of Castile in the 13th century. The successful completion of the Reconquista at the end of the 15th century ended its military significance. Although it fell into ruin in the following centuries, since 1971 it has progressively been restored by its private owners. It can be visited with permission from the owners.
Looks like shit to be honest.

oy buddy, I was only pulling your leg, take it easy.

Not everyone is out to get you. There isnt a post-modernist behind every tree.

Wat Phra Kaew[, commonly known in English as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and officially as Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram, is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. The Emerald Buddha housed in the temple is a potent religio-political symbol and the protective image of Thai society. It is located in Phra Nakhon District, the historic centre of Bangkok, within the precincts of the Grand Palace.

Holy shit, what's that picture? Breddy gud senpai.

The GOD tier

Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan or Wat Arun is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok, Thailand, on the Thonburi west bank of the Chao Phraya River. The temple derives its name from the Hindu god Aruna, often personified as the radiations of the rising sun. Wat Arun is among the best known of Thailand's landmarks and the first light of the morning reflects off the surface of the temple with pearly iridescence. Although the temple had existed since at least the seventeenth century, its distinctive spires were built in the early nineteenth century during the reign of King Rama II.
Yeah, same. That's why I asked. Shame.

The Tomb of Bibi Jawindi is one of the five monuments in Uch Sharif, Punjab, Pakistan, that are on the tentative list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Dating to the 15th century, the shrine was built in 1493 by an Iranian prince, Dilshad, for Bibi Jawindi, who was the great-granddaughter of Jahaniyan Jahangasht, a famous Sufi saint.
I really don't like modern architecture either, but it's not against the rules and it's not off-topic for the thread. Suck it up and post something you like instead.

It makes me so fucking angry...

Kukulcán-Pyramid, Chichén Itzá

This is a modern reconstruction( or "reinvention") of "Nanjing Porcelain Tower".

Story behind this if anyone interested about it.

Looks like he never painted that bridge, I apologize. I don't know why but I really thought someone painted it

>hurr you took two different movement decades apart from two different academic fields and smashed them together, which makes your bait bad and you dumb.

Schönberg's paintings are neat

No, this is where you post a few modern and postmodern buildings and then have to defend yourself from stucco fans rabidly screaming "IT'S UGLY!!!!"
