The Mosque of Sultan Hasan (1356-61). The most monumental of all Cairene mosques, it stands like a fortress across from the Citadel of Cairo. The structure is a four-iwan, four-madrasa composition with a mausoleum right on the qibla axis of the mosque. The huge portal is oriented to impress the viewer coming from the Citadel. Its minarets mark the beginning of the line of development of the 3-tiered Mamluk minarets.

The Hall opens into the Court of Lions (closed at the time of my visit for restoration work). The name is derived from the two marble slabs on the floor with a fountain in the middle from which water flows into the Court of the Lions.
As you enter the hall and look up, there is a marvelous stalacite dome with a star in the middle.

The Complex of Sultan Qalawun in Cairo (1284-85): Contains a bimaristan (hospital), a madrasa, and a mausoleum for the founder. The street façade is well articulated and shows the confluence of Syrian (Crusader and Islamic) arrangements. The madrasa is a four-iwan type with a basilical organization in the qiblai wan. The Dome of the mausoleum echoes the octagonal plan of the Dome of the Rock.

The Mosque of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad in Cairo (1318 and 1335): this hypostyle structure is distinguished by the arrangement of alternate courses of red and black stone in its arches and niches, and by its two unusual minarets which may have been a direct import from Ilkhanid Iran.

The magnificence of Ayasofya stands at the north-eastern edge of Sultanahmet Park in Istanbul, Turkey.
The single-domed Qila-i-Kuna Mosque, built by Sher Shah in 1541 is an excellent example of a pre-Mughal design, and an early example of the extensive use of the pointed arch in the region as seen in its five doorways with the 'true' horseshoe-shaped arches. It was designed as a Jami Mosque, or Friday mosque for the Sultan and his courtiers. The prayer hall inside, the single-aisled mosque, measures 51.20m by 14.90m and has five elegant arched prayer niches or mihrabs set in its western wall. Marble in shades of red, white and slate is used for the calligraphic inscriptions on the central iwan, marks a transition from Lodhi to Mughal architecture. At one time, the courtyard had a shallow tank, with a fountain..
.
A second storey, accessed through staircases from the prayer hall, with a narrow passage running along the rectangular hall, provided space for female courtiers to pray, while the arched doorway on the left wall, framed by ornate jharokas, was reserved for members of the royal family.[18] On a marble slab within the mosque an inscription reads: "As long as there are people on the earth, may this edifice be frequented and people be happy and cheerful in it"..
.
Today it is the best preserved building in Purana Qila.

The Nusretiye Mosque, Istanbul (1822-26). Is built by Mahmut II, the promoter of new order, after he managed to eliminate the Janissaries, hence the name which means "victory." It is one of the most extreme examples of the rococo dominance in late Ottoman architecture.

The majority of the population in Serbia is Orthodox Christian. However, around 5% of the population is Muslim. The majority of Muslims in Serbia live in the south, near the border with Kosovo, therefore, in this region, mosques like this are not an uncommon sight.
This is a mosque in the small town of Samoljica. The mosques in Europe, especialy in Serbia, have a slightly different look then Arabic mosques. The dome and minaret are still there, but the actual structure and art work different then those of traditional Arabic mosques.
The Muslim population in Serbia is only 5%, compared to the 85% Orthodox, which is the dominent religion. Really weird seeing one of these in Europe.
