The Masjid Putra (Putra Mosque) is the main mosque in Putrajaya located 35km outside of Kuala Lumpur. It is a stunning place and well worth visiting if you're in Malaysia, I particularly recommend the views from either bridge spanning the nearby lake.

Kyrgyzstan doesn't have many photogenic buildings, most of the soviet era architecture is ugly enough to shatter the lens of a plastic disposable camera. Naryn city has one reasonably photogenic mosque, though the overhead cables make it difficult to take a clean photo.
Although Timbuktu's place in history is based on its commercial as well as its scholarly achievements, it is three of its mosques that in 1988 earned the city's historic center a Unesco World Heritage designation. The criteria for inclusion are Timbuktu's role for Islamization of Africa, the mosques' cultural and scholarly activity during the Golden Age of the Songhay Empire, and the original construction of the mosques using traditional building techniques.
One of these three mosques, the Sakore Mosque, associated with a University of the same name, helped establish Timbuktu as a world center of Islamic learning from the 13th to the 17th century. Some reports indicate that this mosque may have been built as early as the 12th century, possibly making it the oldest mosque in West Africa. The Sakore Mosque and the Great Mosque of Djenne are considered the two best examples of Sudano-Sahelian architecture in the world.

RIYADHA MOSQUE - Isle of LAMU - KENYA
Pic taken on September 1990.
Lamu Island is a part of the Lamu Archipelago of Kenya.
The island is linked by boat to Mokowe on the mainland and to Manda Island, where there is an airport. There are no roads on the island, just alleyways and footpaths, and therefore, there are few motorized vehicles on the island. Residents move about on foot or by boat, and donkeys are used to transport goods and materials.
A port was founded by Arab traders around the fourteenth century, when the Pwani Mosque was built. The island prospered on the slave trade.

Sheik Lotfollah Mosque is the most unusual Iranian religious structure and possibly the most splendid one. It is located on the eastern side of the Isfahan - Naghsh-e Jahan Square. The mosque was built during the reign of Sheik Abbas I and named after a famous Shiite preacher of the period.
The mosque’s construction started in 1602 with the portal being completed first while the remainder of the structure was finished in 1619. Throughout the Safavid reign, the mosque served as a private chapel for the women of shah’s harem.
Behind the entrance portal a narrow, dimly-lit passageway with three bends begins. The corridor’s purpose is not only to align the mosque towards Mecca. Its aim is to create a striking contrast between the oppressive gloomy narrowness of the approach and the spaciousness and light of the prayer hall at its end. The vast prayer hall is topped with the spectacular dome which is extraordinary both in form and colour.

The Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor (also known locally as the Real Colegiata de Santa María de la Encarnación la Mayor), is a historic church built upon the site of a 13th-century mosque, the La Medina High Mosque, following the Christian reconquest in 1485. The church retains significant elements of its Islamic past, most notably in the bell tower, which was originally the minaret of the mosque. Construction spanned nearly two centuries, blending Gothic, Renaissance, and Moorish styles.
While the structure has a Gothic foundation (seen in the three naves), it also incorporates significant Renaissance wood carving elements added to replace a part of the church destroyed by an earthquake in 1580 – particularly the main alter in the head of the church, the two-level choir, which was built from cedar and walnut, and the golden retable on the rearmost side altar on the Epistle Side. It was officially elevated to a collegiate church in the 16th century.
Today, the church stands as a testament to the layered history of Ronda, where Moorish architectural foundations were repurposed into a grand Catholic, Renaissance-style place of worship. In 1931, it was designated as a Building of Cultural Interest.

**************
L'Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor (également connue localement sous le nom de Real Colegiata de Santa María de la Encarnación la Mayor) est une église historique construite sur l'emplacement d'une mosquée du XIIIe siècle, la Haute Mosquée de La Medina, après la Reconquista en 1485. L'église conserve d'importants éléments de son passé islamique, notamment le clocher, qui était à l'origine le minaret de la mosquée. Sa construction s'est étendue sur près de deux siècles, mêlant les styles gothique, Renaissance et mauresque.
Bien que la structure repose sur des fondations gothiques (visibles dans les trois nefs), elle intègre également d'importants éléments de sculpture sur bois de style Renaissance, ajoutés pour remplacer une partie de l'église détruite par un tremblement de terre en 1580 – en particulier le maître-autel dans la nef, le chœur à deux niveaux, construit en cèdre et en noyer, et le retable doré de l'autel latéral le plus éloigné, côté Épître. Elle fut officiellement élevée au rang de collégiale au XVIe siècle.
Aujourd'hui, l'église témoigne de la riche histoire de Ronda, où des fondations architecturales mauresques ont été réinterprétées pour créer un magnifique lieu de culte catholique de style Renaissance. En 1931, elle a été classée monument historique.

Mosque
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mosque (/mɒsk/; Arabic: مسجد masjid, plural مساجد masājid), sometimes spelt mosk, is a place of worship for followers of Islam.
There are strict and detailed requirements in Sunni fiqh for a place of worship to be considered a mosque, with places that do not meet these requirements regarded as musallas. There are stringent restrictions on the uses of the area formally demarcated as the mosque (which is often a small portion of the larger complex), and, in the Islamic Sharia law, after an area is formally designated as a mosque, it remains so until the Last Day.
Many mosques have elaborate domes, minarets, and prayer halls, in varying styles of architecture. Mosques originated on the Arabian Peninsula, but are now found in all inhabited continents. The mosque serves as a place where Muslims can come together for salat (صلاة ṣalāt, meaning "prayer") as well as a center for information, education, and dispute settlement. The imam leads the congregation in prayer.

The Faisal Mosque in Islamabad is the largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and one of the largest mosques in the world. Faisal Mosque is conceived as the National Mosque of Pakistan. It has a covered area of 5,000 m2 (54,000 sq ft)[citation needed] and has a capacity to accommodate approximately 300,000 worshippers (100,000 in its main prayer hall, courtyard and porticoes and another 200,000 in its adjoining grounds).
The impetus for the mosque began in 1966 when the late King Faisal bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia supported the initiative of the Pakistani Government to build a national mosque in Islamabad during an official visit to Pakistan.

Our first stop off on the day’s excursion. We only had 10 minutes here so it was a choice for me to go inside or get some captures from around the outside. I chose to stay outside.
From a website describing the Mosque: “The Sultan Qaboos Mosque towers over the city centre, welcoming thousands of worshippers for prayers each day since its completion in 2009. Inside, a crystal chandelier hangs from an intricately carved 36-meter (118-foot) dome, and a 20-ton handwoven carpet with 115 million individual knots covers the floor.”
We then drove around the corner to the Al Hosn palace. We didn’t go inside but had time outside the high walls surrounding the complex. I think we could had had more time at the mosque.

The Koutoubia Mosque is Marrakech's most famous landmark with its striking, 70-meter-tall minaret visible for miles in every direction. Local Marrakech legend tells that when it was first built, the muezzin (man who calls the faithful to pray) for this mosque had to be blind, as the minaret was so tall, it overlooked the ruler's harem. The mosque was built in 1162 and is one of the great achievements of Almohad architecture.

One of the most important and beautiful landmarks in Hail, to the north of Saudi Arabia. The 17300 square meters Mosque was opened for prayers almost five years ago. It can fit 7000 men in the men's section and 1000 woman in the women's section. It has 56 domes and four minarets of around seventy meters high each.
With regard to the photo, I have tried several times to take a light trail photo of the area around the Mosque. I managed to take this photo and three others after around 20 failed trials., It was fun, though.
I am open for any suggestion or criticism.
It is obvious that the photo is a little bit tilted.

The Shah Mosque (Persian: مسجد شاه), also known as Imam Mosque (Persian: مسجد امام), renamed after the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, and Jaame' Abbasi Mosque, is a mosque in Isfahan, Iran, standing in south side of Naghsh-e Jahan Square. Built during the Safavid period, ordered by the first Shah Abbas of Persia. The mosque has also been called Jameh Mosque of Isfahan over the course of years.
View of the Mosque from Naqsh-e Jahan Square
It is regarded as one of the masterpieces of Iranian/Persian Architecture and an excellent example of Islamic era architecture of Iran. The Shah Mosque of Isfahan is one of the everlasting masterpieces of architecture in Iran. It is registered, along with the Naghsh-e Jahan Square, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[1] Its construction began in 1611, and its splendor is mainly due to the beauty of its seven-colour mosaic tiles and calligraphic inscriptions. The mosque is one of the treasures featured on Around the World in 80 Treasures presented by the architecture historian Dan Cruickshank.

This great mosque of Old Delhi is the largest in India, with a courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees. It was begun in 1644 and ended up being the final grand building by Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor who built the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort.
Turkmenbashi Ruhy Mosque or Gypjak Mosque is a mosque in the village of Gypjak about 7 kilometres west of the centre of Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.
The mosque, constructed by the French company Bouygues, was built in the home town of President Saparmurat Niyazov. It opened on October 22, 2004 and was built by Niyazov with a tomb in preparation for his death. Niyazov died two years later, and was buried in the tomb on December 24, 2006.
The mosque has been at the center of controversy as scriptures from both the Quran and the Ruhnama (Book of Soul), Niyazov's 'pseudo-spiritual guide to life' are built into the walls. It has outraged many Muslims that the Ruhnama is placed as the Koran's equal.
" La mosquée aux pommes d'Or est un édifice religieux du XIIe siècle édifié sous le règne du sultan Yacoub El Mansour, situé près de l'ancienne porte Bab Agnaou à Marrakech.
Anciennement connue sous le nom de mosquée d'El Mansour, elle fut reconstruite en 1569 suite à une explosion, et renommée « mosquée aux pommes d'or » car, selon une légende, les boules de son lanterneau auraient été réalisées avec l'or des bijoux de l'épouse de Yacoub El Mansour (qui fait construire la Koutoubia).
Longue de 80 mètres, elle se repère par son minaret décoré d'entrelacs en losanges de couleur turquoise, surmonté de tuiles multicolores. Elle se compose d'une salle de prière et de onze nefs."
