Hassan Pasha Mosque in Kos, seen from the Ancient Agora archaeological site.
The rich history of Kos has vividly left its mark on the architecture of the islands. That is the case with the mosques of Kos Town, strong reminders of the Ottoman rule on the island, that lasted for about four centuries, from 1523 to 1912. Today, two Ottoman mosques survive time in Kos Town and they can be seen in the centre of the city.
The Loggia Mosque also known as the Hassan Pasha Mosque, located at Hippocrates Plane Tree Square in Kos, was founded by the Turkish admiral Ghazi Hassan Pasha in 1786.
Ancient architectural elements from Roman remains have been incorporated into the fabric of the mosque and its minaret, and the mosque was possibly built on the location of a Byzantine temple of St George.
The three storey building is locked and unused and still bears the marks of wartime bombardment, especially in the tracery of the upper windows. The ground floor is taken up by several shops.

It is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates. The design of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has been inspired by Persian, Mughal and Moorish mosque architecture, particularly the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan and the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco being direct influences. The dome layout and floorplan of the mosque was inspired by the Badshahi Mosque and the architecture was inspired by Persian, Mughal and Moorish design. Its archways are quintessentially Moorish and its minarets classically Arab. The design of the mosque can be best described as a fusion of Arab, Persian, Mughal and Moorish architecture.

The old mosque is in the center of the picture and the reconstructed citadel is just left of the mosque. This is the small country town of Divrigi, Turkey.
The Great mosque (Cami-i Kebir – Ulu Cami) was built in 1835-1836 by Seyit Elhac Mehmet Agha, the Turkish Governor.
It is a two-storey building with large windows, and has five arches in front and one on its left flank. The interior of the mosque is divided into three parts by two rows of columns, each row consisting of five round columns connected to the walls by arches.
At the north-west corner of its front courtyard there is an octagonal fountain built in 1748 by Ebubekir Pasha, then Governor of Cyprus, who constructed chains of wells and aqueducts in the Arpera region eight miles east * of the town to supply fresh drinking water to Larnaca.

Two more views of the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque in Naqsh-e Jahan Square. The beautiful lady on the right is my lovely wife, Suriya. We've been married for 47 years.
Wikipedia: Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque is one of the masterpieces of Iranian architecture that was built during the Safavid Empire, standing on the eastern side of Naqsh-i Jahan Square, Esfahan, Iran. Construction of the mosque started in 1603 and was finished in 1619. It was built by the chief architect Mohammadreza Isfahani, during the reign of Shah Abbas I of Persia.
The purpose of this mosque was for it to be private to the royal court (unlike the Shah Mosque, which was meant for the public). For this reason, the mosque does not have any minarets and is smaller. Indeed, few Westerners at the time of the Safavids even paid any attention to this mosque, and they certainly did not have access to it. Today, these doors are open to visitors.

On July 4, 2026, the mosque was officially named “Nursultan Mosque”.
The main dome of the mosque is the largest of its kind in the world. The height of the dome is almost 83.2 meters with a diameter of 62 meters. The surrounding four minarets are 130 meters and are made of five parts to symbolize the five pillars of Islam - faith, prayer, fasting, zakat and pilgrimage. One of the towers in the left wing has been opened to the public. Guests can take an elevator up and admire the view of the city.
The entrance door of the mosque is considered one of the tallest wooden doors in the world, standing at 12.4 meters with a weight of one and a half tons. The material is made of hard iroko wood, which grows in tropical Africa. The doors are decorated with Kazakh patterns and the outer walls with white Arabic script on a blue background.
The interior doors of the mosque are 12 meters high and the windows are made of handmade stained glass with colorful ornaments.
The walls of the mosque and the inside of the dome are decorated with colorful patterns, verses from the Quran and prayers. The Arabic calligraphy was illustrated by Kazakh master Asylbek Baizakuly.
The wall on the side facing the qibla is inscribed with the 99 names of Allah, illuminated with golden light from within. The mosaic wall is 100 meters long and 22.4 meters high and consists of 25 million glasses of different colors.
