Answer to edition 547
The architectural style and the tiling indicate the building is Islamic and probably a mosque or palace in the Persian Gulf and Central Asian region.
A bit of research (for those who don’t immediately recognise it) reveals it is actually the 9th-century Atiq Mosque in Iran. The mosque can be found in the City of Shiraz.

Well done everyone.
This week’s “Where in the World…”
