The Rüstem Pasha Mosque (Turkish: ' Rüstempaşa Camii') is an Ottoman mosque located in Hasırcılar Çarşısı (Strawmat Weavers Market) in the Tahtakale neighborhood, of the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey..
.
The Rüstem Pasha Mosque was designed by Ottoman imperial architect Mimar Sinan for Grand Vizier Damat Rüstem Pasha (husband of one of the daughters of Suleiman the Magnificent, Princess Mihrimah). Rüstem Pasha died in July 1561 and the mosque was built after his death from around 1561 until 1563.[1] The mosque complex hosts now a Koran School.
The Fatih mosque complex was a religious and social building of unprecedented size and complexity built in Istanbul between 1463-1470 by the order of Fatih Sultan Mehmed,[1] on the site of the former Byzantine Church of the Holy Apostles, which had been a ruin since the Fourth Crusade.[1] It was built by the royal architect Atik Sinan.[1] The Fatih mosque was the first monumental project in the Ottoman imperial architectural tradition.[1]
The original complex included a set of well-planned buildings constructed around the mosque. They include eight medrese, library, hospital, hospice, caravanserai, market, hamam, primary school and public kitchen (imaret) which served food to the poor. Various türbe were added at a later dates. The original complex covered an almost square area 325 meters on a side, extending along the Golden Horn side of Fevzipasa Street..
The original mosque was badly damaged in the 1509 earthquake, after that it was repaired, but was then damaged again by earthquakes in 1557 and 1754 and repaired yet again. It was then completely destroyed by an earthquake on 22 May 1766 when the main dome collapsed and the walls were irreparably damaged. The current mosque (designed on a completely different plan) was completed in 1771 under Sultan Mustafa III by the architect, Mimar Mehmet Tahir.

The Koutoubia Mosque, located in the Marrakech medina opposite the main square of Jemaa el Fna is a stunning example of the Almohad style of architecture.
That is your esteemed photographer staring at some graffiti on the wall. Obviously I didn't take this picture.

Åžahinler is a small village in Burhaniye, Western Turkey. With its unique interior decorations, one of the most distinctive mosques I have ever seen. Interiors of mosques in Turkey are usually covered with calligraphy, but this one is full of paintings all around. A scenery from Istanbul, a view of a distant village, fountains, flowers and much more... It is said that the paintings are completed by a local artist of Greek descent, who was also inhabitant of the village.

The amazing architecture of the Blue Mosque viewed from the courtyard just after dawn. I visisted the mosque early in the morning and it was a fantastic time to visit to beat the crowd as I was the only person there until a photo tour group joined me a little later. Luckily by that time I had captured a few images and was happy to move on.

Can anyone help identify this mosque which I visited in 2017 and stupidly did not note its name or accurate location. I think it is close to Port Said St, but cannot be sure! The vestibule is a curious shape and the ribbed ceiling is interesting.

Opened in 1998, and designed by Basil Al Bayati, the Edinburgh Central Mosque is right across the road from Edinburgh University at Potterrow. In a rather nice touch the architecture, while traditional for an Islamic holy structure, also contains nods to Scots Baronial architecture, making a nice statement about two cultures interleaved.
I was coming out of a festival show in the university nearby, and only had the Mr Bendy Legs, the mini-tripod, with me, so I sat it and the camera on a handy bench to bring it up a bit more, and grab this picture as the late evening was fading into night. The adjacent Mosque Kitchen is a highly recommended place to eat in the city (great food and very affordable).

Agra Fort 16th - 17th century
Jahangir Palace
The red fort of Agra is an immense, city-like expanse of military fortifications, mosques, palaces and courtyard gardens, surrounded by a massive red sandstone wall.
The courtyards create a labyrinth of spaces, some almost abstract and reminiscent of De Chiricos city-visions.
Cairo, Egypt

The Mosque of Ahmad Ibn ŢūlÅ«n (Arabic: مسجد Ø£Øمد بن طولون‎) is located in Cairo, Egypt. It is arguably the oldest mosque in the city surviving in its original form, and is the largest mosque in Cairo in terms of land area.
The mosque was commissioned by Ahmad ibn Ţūlūn, the Abbassid governor of Egypt from 868–884 whose rule was characterized by de facto independence. The historian al-Maqrizi lists the mosque's construction start date as 876 AD, and the mosque's original inscription slab identifies the date of completion as 265 AH, or 879 AD.
The mosque was constructed on a small hill called Gebel Yashkur, "The Hill of Thanksgiving." One local legend says that it is here that Noah's Ark came to rest after the Deluge, instead of at Mount Ararat.
The grand ceremonial mosque was intended as the focal point of Ibn Ţūlūn's capital, al-Qatta'i, which served as the center of administration for the Tulunid dynasty. The mosque originally was backed by ibn Ţūlūn's palace, and a door adjacent to the minbar allowed him direct entry to the mosque. Al-Qatta'i was razed in the early 10th century, AD, and the mosque is the only surviving structure.
The mosque was constructed in the Samarran style common with Abbassid constructions. The mosque is constructed around a courtyard, with one covered hall on each of the four sides, the largest being on the side of the qibla, or direction to Mecca. The original mosque had its ablution fountain (sabil) in the area between the inner and outer walls. A distinctive sabil with a high domed roof was added in the central courtyard at the end of the thirteenth century by the Sultan Lajīn.
