La Mosquée Ketchaoua* est un lieu de culte historique algérois, situé dans la Basse Casbah.
L'histoire de cet édifice débuterait en 1436. Par la suite, la mosquée connaît plusieurs modifications dont les dernières furent entreprises par le colonisateur français et visaient à dédier ce lieu au culte catholique.
Après l'indépendance de l'Algérie, la cathédrale Saint-Philippe reprit le nom de Mosquée Ketchaoua.
Les travaux de restauration, lancés il y a plusieurs années, viennent d'arriver à leur terme.
(*) Ketchaoua signifierait en turc : « plateau des chèvres | Keçi ova ».

La Mosquée Bleue fut construite par l’architecte Sedefhar Mehmet Aga, élève du célèbre architecte Sinan, entre 1609 et 1616 sous le règne du sultan Ahmet I.
La Mosquée Bleue fut édifiée pour rivaliser avec l’Hagia Sophia. Le sultan Ahmet I voulait démontrer que l’architecture ottomane ne valait pas moins que l’architecture chrétienne d’antan. Ahmet 1er s’inspira donc de l’Hagia Sophia et des précédentes œuvres architecturales ottomanes, comme la Mosquée Süleymaniye, pour édifier la Mosquée Bleue. Elle est considérée comme étant le dernier ouvrage de l’architecture ottomane sous sa forme classique. Elle est l'un des points de départ majeur des pèlerins à destination de la Mecque.
La Mosquée Bleue fut la seconde Mosquée au monde, après celle de la Mecque, à posséder six minarets. Cette caractéristique obligea même de construire un septième minaret à la Mosquée de la Mecque afin de demeurer l’unique Mosquée ayant le plus de minarets.
A l’intérieur, l’immense salle de prière est couverte par un grand nombre de tapis . Portée par quatre piliers imposants, la coupole principale est de 23 mètres de diamètre et élevée à 43 mètres de hauteur. En complément de cette coupole, la Mosquée Bleue comporte d’autres coupoles plus petites ainsi que des demi-dômes.
Les décorations intérieures de la Mosquée Bleue sont de toute beauté. En effet, plus de 260 fenêtres et 20 000 carreaux de faïence bleue d’Iznik composent la Mosquée Bleue. Autre pièce centrale de l’intérieur de la Mosquée Bleue est le mirhab, niche indiquant la direction de la Mecque vers laquelle les musulmans doivent se tourner pour prier. Le mirhab est fait de marbre blanc provenant de Marmara.
A l’extérieur, la cour, qui est presque aussi grande que la Mosquée Bleue elle-même, est composée d’une fontaine centrale et est entourée par de nombreuses arcades voûtées. Il faut aussi remarquer l’immense porte d’entrée de cette cour qui se caractérise par son architecture en arcades.
The Badshahi Mosque or the 'Royal Mosque' in Lahore, commissioned by the sixth Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb completed in 1673, is the second largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fifth largest mosque in the world.
The Faisal Mosque in Islamabad is the largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fourth largest mosque in the world. It was the largest mosque in the world from 1986 to 1993 when overtaken in size by the completion of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco. Subsequent expansions of the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) of Mecca and the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque) in Medina, Saudi Arabia during the 1990s relegated Faisal Mosque to fourth place in terms of size.
Faisal Mosque is the National Mosque of Pakistan. It has a covered area of 5,000 m2 (54,000 sq ft) 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). Although its covered main prayer hall is smaller than that of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca (the world's third largest mosque), Faisal Mosque has the third largest capacity of accommodating worshippers in its adjoining grounds after the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) of Mecca, the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque) in Medina.[2]. Each of the Mosque's four minarets are 80 m (260 ft) high (the tallest minarets in South Asia) and measure 10 x 10 m in circumference.
The Faisal Mosque is named after the late King Faisal bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia, who supported and financed the project.
