It is the main mosque of the city. The Selimiye Mosque is housed in the largest and oldest surviving Gothic church in Cyprus (interior dimensions: 66 x 21 m) possibly constructed on the site of an earlier Byzantine church.

In total, the mosque has a capacity to hold 2500 worshippers with 1750m² available for worship. It is the largest surviving historical building in Nicosia, and according to sources, it "may have been the largest church built in the Eastern Mediterranean in the millennium between the rise of Islam and the late Ottoman period".

Das BIld zeigt eine türkische Moschee in Köln. Nur das kleine Hinweisschild im Hauseingang weist auf die Moschee im Untergeschoß hin. Ansonsten handelt es sich um ein ganz normales Hochhaus am Rande Kölns.
A documentation of mosques in germany. Many mosques in germany are located in industrial areas or backyards. This series aims to document typical mosques in germany beside the representative ones.
I got the idea for this report or documentation while looking for an arabic mosque for some colleagues from cairo. While searching for it I was surprised of the number and different kinds of mosques located in cologne and found it very interesting where there are located - mostly in the backyard. I remembered the book "Churches" from David Spero and started my own series.
Hope you enjoy it.
In Deutschland finden sich Moscheen meist in Gewerbegebieten oder auf Hinterhöfen.
Mit dieser Bildserie möchte ich typische Moscheen in Deutschland - zu Beginn in Köln - dokumentieren.
Auf die Idee für diese Serie kam ich, als ich für einen ägyptischen Kollegen, der uns für mehrere Monate in Köln besucht hat, eine Moschee gesucht habe. Dabei wurde ich nicht nur von der großen Anzahl und den vielen unterschiedlichen Arten von Moscheen überrascht sondern auch von der Tatsache, dass die meisten Moscheen in sehr schlichten und nach aussen praktisch unauffälligen Gebäuden - häufig in Gewerbegebieten aber auch in ganz normalen Wohnhäusern - untergebracht sind. Ich fühlte mich sofort an den Bildband "Churches" von David Spero erinnert und lege nun mit einer eigenen Serie los - Moscheen.
Viel Spaß dabei und Kommentare und Diskussionen sind wie immer ausdrücklich erwünscht.

This is the only Mosque in Morocco where non-Muslims are allowed. In the afternoons there are English-speaking tours. Our group had the immense place to ourselves - even then it was hard to avoid getting others in the photos. ;-)
The interior is really incredible. The tile, intricate carving and patterns - no detail has been overlooked. As is traditional, downstairs is a beautiful hammam, although it is not used. They fear it would be overrun by the sheer number of people who would want to use the facility, so they don't allow it at all.
This building originally started life in the 14th Century as a church then a mosque, a marriage registration office and now functions as an art gallery.

There are four minarets on the four corners of the mosque which rise about 115 m (377 ft) in height. There are 57 domes covering the outside yard and the main building as well. The domes are decorated with white Bianco marble from Pietrasanta, Italy and the interior decoration is made of white marble from Laas, Italy. The courtyard is paved with floral marble designs and measures about 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft).
