A marvel of mathematics and devotion, this intricate entrance showcases the astonishing precision of Islamic architectural design. Likely inspired by Persian or Central Asian craftsmanship, the portal is adorned with thousands of hand-laid tiles forming stars, arabesques, and floral motifs in every shade of blue imaginable. The muqarnas (stalactite vaulting) adds depth and rhythm, turning the surface into a symphony of light and shadow.

As a puzzle, this is not for the faint-hearted. With 6,500 pieces of repeating patterns, subtle gradients, and near-identical tiles, it becomes a true test of patience, observation, and method. You’ll need both logic and intuition to distinguish one motif from another—every piece will feel like a mini-mosaic in itself.

Think of it not just as a puzzle, but a journey through centuries of art and culture. Ready to lose yourself in the geometry of genius?
