From Wikipedia
The Green Mosque (Pashto: شنه جومات; Dari: مَسجد سَبز, romanized: Masjid Sabz), or the Mosque of Khawaja Abu Nasr Parsa (Pashto: د خواجه ابو نصر پارسا جومات), is a mosque, madrasa and mausoleum complex located in the city of Balkh, in northern Afghanistan. The complex contains the Shrine of Khwaja Abu Nasr Parsa. The mosque's name is derived from the kashi tiles on the walls of the mosque, which are coloured turquoise, known locally as Turkish Green. The mosque was completed in 1421, during the Timurid era.
