Grand Mosque, Sousse (Tunisia).
Situated next to the ribat, the corner towers and general fortified aspect of the 9th century Mosque indicates that it was probably originally part of Sousse's fortified area or kasbah. Built in 851, a few years after the re-foundation of the town by the Aghlabids, on the odel of the Sidi Oqba Mosque in Kairouan. Following recent restoration work the exterior has recovered its original apperance.
For non-Muslims is possible to enter only into the inner courtyard there.
Sousse is a city in Tunisia. Located 140 km south of the capital Tunis. Sousse is in the central-east of the country, on the Gulf of Hammamet, which is a part of the Mediterranean Sea. The name may be of Berber origin: similar names are found in Libya and in the south of Morocco (Bilad al-Sus). The city is the capital of Sousse Governorate. Its economy is based on transport equipment, processed food, olive oil, textiles and tourism. It is home to the Université de Sousse.
City retains a medieval heart of narrow, twisted streets, a kasbah and medina, its ribat fortress and long wall on the Mediterranean. Surrounding it is a modern city of long, straight roads and more widely spaced buildings.
Sousse is an important tourist resort. Hotel complexes extend 20 km from the old city (Medina) north along the seafront to Port El Kantaoui. The fine sandy beaches are backed by orchards and olive groves. The historic Medina is well preserved, and includes open and covered bazaars (souks), where wares are mainly aimed at tourists, as well as the ribat castle, the central mosque, and a historical museum in the Casbah with mosaics from the area's many Roman villas.
شكل استوار گنبدي بر روي يك اتاق چها گوش كه ميراث معماري ساساني است در اين مسجد كوچك زيبا بار ديگر نمايان شده. آنرا شاه عباس روبروي قصر و به افتخار پدرزن روحانيش ساخت. اين اتاق منفرد و جالب است كه بيشتر حالت نمازخانه خصوصي دارد، در اينجا هم مثل مسجد جامع عباسی(شاه-امام) براي قرار دادن شبستان در جهت قبله نوعي تعديل به عمل آمده كه مستلزم ْ45 انحراف از محور شمالي-جنوبي ميدان بوده و براي اين منظور از پيچي ابتكاري و ناپيدا در دالان مسجد استفاده شده است.شخص وقتي داخل شبستان ميشود محراب درست روبرويش قرار گرفته است تغيير جهت از بيرون ناپيداست زيرا از بيرون تنها گنبد در بالاي ديوارها ديده ميشود كه سراسر ميدان را پر ميكند
گنبد كوتاه تك پوشه آن به قطر 12 متر بار فراوانش را كه روي ديوارهاي قطور به قطر 170قرارگرفته به بنا استحکامی آرام می بخشد

The Sultan Ahmed Mosque of Istanbul is known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles of the interior. It was built between 1609 and 1616.
The Blue Mosque has six minarets. Since this was, at the time, the same number as at the mosque of the Ka'aba in Mecca. Sultan Ahmed paid for a seventh minaret at the Mecca mosque.
The blue mosque, which takes its name from the mainly blue Iznik tile work decorating its interior. Built between 1609 and 1616, the splendour of the plans provoked great hostility at the time, especially because a mosque with 6 minarets was considered a sacrilegious attempt to rival the architecture of Mecca. I had a wonderful view of the mosque from my hotel terrace.

The Cumbernauld Mosque, right next door to a small church. I had no idea this was here, it is tucked away behind the anonymous roads that wind around this spread-out, bland, post-war "new town", screened by trees. I caught sight of the dome through the trees, so dad pulled over into the next road so I could take a couple of pics
This mosque, build circa 1420, is believed to be the oldest in west Africa. How much is original I do not know because it is built of mud and requires frequent repair. The man in the photo came over to explain the mosque to us.

Once I was an Aramaean temple adorned by a sphinx. The Romans made me a shrine for Jupiter. When the Byzantines came along I was dedicated to a great prophet; John the Baptist.

Mosques are beautiful place of worship of course, and as you walk around you can be a bit lost as the rituals, architecture and symbolism are so different from "back home".
Mosques are meant to be prayed In, taking photos of them wont do much good. God doesnt work that way... i suppose.
