Isfahan Seven Color Tiles – A Hallmark of Persian Culture

Seven-color tile making, particularly notable during the Safavid era, has been a prominent aspect of traditional Iranian architecture in Isfahan. Historic sites in Isfahan, such as the Imam Mosque and Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque in Naqsh-e Jahan Square, showcase the exquisite use of seven-color tiles.  They are integral to the cultural identity of Isfahan and serve as economic pillars for many local families. Each piece produced not only sustains the traditional knowledge of craftsmanship but also tells the story of Isfahan’s historical and cultural landscape.
