Islamic art has specific importance in different sections especially in the area of architecture and the related decorations. Generally, decoration has an important role in the history of Iran’s architecture and it has been continuing from far past to today and has preserved its continuity. In Seljuk era, Iranian artists decorated exterior parts of building with fine parts of turquoise glazed brick. In this way, we observe color in exterior decoration of buildings in this era. This method of decoration is used from old times and new techniques and diversities have been utilized by passing time and the architectures have constructed the most beautiful and enduring buildings.
