La Mosquée Bleue, Sultanahmet Camii en turc, se situe dans le quartier de Sultanahmet et fait face à la basilique sainte Sophie.
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 et fut alors le point 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.

A church and a mosque in the same afternoon? Works for me! I actually didn’t know this was a mosque until I pulled into the parking lot..I just saw the dome in the distance and thought I’d check it out.

October November 2009 Istanbul Turkey Kempinski Mecidiye Mosque from water
Ortaköy Mosque (Turkish: Ortaköy Camii), officially the Büyük Mecidiye Camii (Grand Imperial Mosque of Sultan Abdülmecid) in Beşiktaş, Istanbul, Turkey, is situated at the waterside of the Ortaköy pier square, one of the most popular locations on the Bosphorus.
The original Ortaköy Mosque was built in the 18th century. The current mosque, which was erected in its place, was ordered by the Ottoman sultan Abdülmecid and built between 1854 and 1856. Its architects were Armenian father and son Garabet Amira Balyan and Nigoğayos Balyan (who also designed the nearby Dolmabahçe Palace), who designed it in Neo-Baroque style. Within the mosque hang several examples of Islamic calligraphy executed by the Sultan Abdülmecid himself, who was also a hattat (master calligrapher).
The wide, high windows let the ever-changing light reflections of the Bosphorus shine in the mosque.

Description of work: The historic illustrations included in this project were originally published during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Many originally appeared in publications that predated the widespread use of photography for art documentation. These engravings, line drawings, and plans reflect both the technological and aesthetic standards of their time. By their very nature, they often represent subjective interpretations of the monuments and works depicted, and as such they offer fascinating insights into the cultural values of art and architectural history during the formative years of these disciplines. In the context of these images the terms ""reconstruction"" and ""rendering"" have been used to distinguish between the artists' speculative reconstruction of a ruined work from the artists' perspective drawing or rendition of the design.

MGR has constructed the mosque at Kuningan in West Java. The reason for selecting this particular area was that it was without a permanent mosque for over 5 years following an earthquake in the region, and people were slowly moving away from their daily prayers whilst others prayed on the harsh surface.
The mosque was moved to a new location so that if another earthquake or flood occurs in the region it will not be damaged.
1. Name of the mosque is Masjid Haji Ibrahim, 2. Mosque location is in Kuningan , West Java.
Masjid Tengku Tengah Zaharah, Kuala Ibai, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu
Also known as Masjid Terapung (floating mosque).

The New Mosque, also called the Yeni Mosque, was started in 1597 by the wife of Sultan Murad III. However, due to politics and some other set backs, it wasn't completed until 1663. With 66 domes adorning it's exterior and two mosques, it's design was based on that of the Blue Mosque. Istanbul, Turkey.

Al-Aqsa Mosque (Arabic:المسجد الاقصى, IPA /æl'mæsʒɪd æl'ɑqsˁɑ/, ArAqsaMosque.ogg al-Masjid al-Aqsa (help·info) translit: "the Farthest Mosque"), also known as al-Aqsa, is an Islamic holy place in the Old City of Jerusalem. The mosque itself forms part of the al-Haram ash-Sharif or "Sacred Noble Sanctuary" (along with the Dome of the Rock), a site also known as the Temple Mount and considered the holiest site in Judaism, since it is where the Temple in Jerusalem once stood.[1][2] Widely considered as the third holiest site in Islam, Muslims believe that the prophet Muhammad was transported from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to al-Aqsa during the Night Journey.[3] Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad led prayers towards this site until the seventeenth month after the emigration, when God ordered him to turn towards the Ka'aba.
