Islamic architecture is one of the most beautiful manifestations of Islamic civilization which represent the thoughts, beliefs and values of Muslims, and draw the attention of foreigners. Orientalists who travelled to Islamic territories, with different intentions, have studied the Islamic architecture; the findings can be found in their travel accounts. However their attitudes in studying Islamic architecture are not clear to us, so the question is: What is the presented image of Islamic architecture by Orientalists? They presented the eminence of Islamic architecture alongside its deficits; they also took the role of each tribe into consideration, concerning Islamic architecture (hypothesis). Analyzing the Orientalists' accounts on Islamic architecture in the Greater Khorasan would clearly demonstrate the importance of these accounts in 19th century. On the other hand, making a comparison between the accounts in the 19th century would benefit the changes which were made in architecture (destruction, restoration and constructing new buildings) (goal). Historical study and analysis of some of the works of Orientalists in 19th century would help us to reach the goal of the present paper (Methodology). The findings of the present paper are: Orientalist emphasized non-specialized analyses on Islamic architecture and the meaningful relation between survival and destruction of Islamic architecture with military invasions and political governments were proved.
