Muqarnas/mogharnas are a traditional decorative architectural form of Islam. They were, and still are, used on the portals/pishtags of iwans. Iwans are a three-sided open area with three portals. Muqarnas are also used in domes, as in the Hall of the Abencerrajes of the Alhambra. On minarets, muqarnas are sometimes used to decorate the cornices of the muezzin‘s balcony
