When I explored Southern Spain, I took a side trip to Gibraltar on my way from Seville to Malaga. I hadn't expected to find a mosque in Gibraltar, perhaps I was a bit provincial in that respect. In any case, I thought the mosque with the Rock of Gibraltar was worthy of note, even though I missed catching a bit of the Rock's lower right side.
The Umayyad Mosque, also known as the Great Mosque of Damascus or formerly the Basilica of Saint John the Baptist, is located in the old city of Damascus, is one of the largest and oldest mosques in the world. It is considered the fourth-holiest place in Islam. After the Arab conquest of Damascus in 634, the mosque was built on the site of a Christian basilica dedicated to John the Baptist since the time of the Roman emperor Constantine I. The mosque holds a shrine which today may still contain the head of John the Baptist, honored as a prophet by both Christians and Muslims alike.

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.
