Mezquita Azul
La mezquita Azul o mezquita del Sultán Ahmed es una de las grandes mezquitas de Estambul, obra de Sedefkar Mehmet Ağa, discípulo del arquitecto Sinan. Está situada frente a la iglesia de Santa Sofía, separadas ambas por un jardín, y fue la única de la ciudad con seis alminares hasta la construcción de la Mezquita de Çamlıca, inaugurada en 2016.
Su magnífico exterior es acorde con su suntuoso interior, en el que una verdadera sinfonía de bellísimos mosaicos azules de Iznik logran una atmósfera muy especial.
Marrakesh, Morocco
The mosque was founded in 1147 by the Almohad caliph Abd al-Mu'min right after he conquered Marrakesh from the Almoravids. A second version of the mosque was entirely rebuilt by Abd al-Mu'min around 1158, with Ya'qub al-Mansur possibly finalizing construction of the minaret around 1195. This second mosque is the structure that stands today. It is considered a classic and important example of Almohad architecture and of Moroccan mosque architecture generally. The minaret tower, 77 metres (253 ft) in height, is decorated with varying geometric arch motifs and topped by a spire and metal orbs. It likely inspired other buildings such as the Giralda of Seville and the Hassan Tower of Rabat, which were built shortly after in the same era. The minaret is also considered an important landmark and symbol of Marrakesh.
