The Fatih Mosque (Durres, Albania) built in 1503
A mosque (Arabic:مسجد) is a place of worship for followers of Islam. The word entered English from a French word which probably derived from Italian moschea, a variant of Italian moscheta, from either Armenian mzkiṭ or Greek μασγίδιον, from Arabic masjid, meaning "place of worship" or "prostration in prayer", from the Arabic sajada, meaning "to bow down in prayer" or "worship", probably ultimately of Aramaic origin.

We stayed close to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, so visited it by day and by night; it looked beautiful in every light but was always crowded. On the final morning the pre dawn call to prayer woke us, as usual, and this time, instead of ignoring it, I got up and went to see it in the early morning light. I expected the faithful to be thronging through this gate, answering the wailing speakers that echoed across the city. In fact, it was pretty empty and rather magical.
