The Mosque at Saptagram is devoid of any roof or dome and has ornamental works in brick. One Arabic inscription engraved on stone slab on the front wall of the Mosque records its erection during the time of Sultan Nusrat Shah by Sayyid Jamalud-Din Husain of Amul in 1529 AD. At the enclosure with three tombs Sayyid Fakhr Ud-Din, his wife and his eunuch are said to be buried.
It is the southernmost mosque in continental Europe, and is one of the largest mosques in a non-Muslim country. The building was a gift from King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and took two years to build at a cost of around £5 million. It was officially inaugurated on 8 August 1997

The Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Turkish: Sultanahmet Camii) is the national mosque of Turkey, and is a historical mosque in Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey and the capital of the Ottoman Empire (from 1453 to 1923). The mosque is one of several mosques known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior.
From Wikipedia:
The Şehzade Mosque (Turkish: Şehzade Camii) is a mosque in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Suleiman I and was built by architect Mimar Sinan between 1543 and 1548. It was considered by architectural historians as Sinan's first masterpiece of classical Ottoman architecture
Interior of the mosque
Interior of the mosque
The mosque has a square plan, covered by a central dome, flanked by four half-domes. The dome is supported by four piers, and has a diameter of 19 meters and it is 37 meters high. Şehzade complex (Külliye) is situated between Fatih and Bayezid complexes. The Külliye consists of the mosque, the tomb (turbe) of Prince Mehmet (which was built prior to the mosque), two schools (medresa), kitchen for the poor and a caravansarai. The mosque and its courtyard are surrounded by a wall that separates them from the rest of the complex.
Faisal mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan. This really is one of the most interesting Mosques I have seen. It's not only a stunning location with the back drop of the Mountains, it's modern architecture is very unusual. This Mosque was financed by the Saudi Royal Family and hence its name. More info available on wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Faisal_Mosque.
Puncak. Bogor.
PS.
Hard to find an angle with no interfering-object, since many people visit and pray in the mosque in praying time.
Acre, Ottoman Palestine, 1904 George Scott saw the Mosque in Acre while returning from vacation to his teaching position at the Syrian Protestant College in Beirut. In his 1964 Reminiscenses he said "We stopped at Acre to see the Bab in his palace; his two nephews were in my class at Beirut. One of them is probably the Bab at present, the head of the Bahai religion."
On the back: "Mosque of Acre." Taken with George Scott's Kodak.
This photograph was among two dozen in an envelope titled "Photographs to Illustrate 'A Tour with a Syrian Missionary' ". From 1903 to 1906, George Tressler Scott (1881-1979) taught in Beirut at the Syrian Protestant College (later the American University of Beirut). The envelope was passed down through the family for over 100 years. Background information for many photos comes from the Reminiscences he recorded in 1964.
George Scott began using a camera about 1901. It was probably an early Brownie --the family called his prints "George's Kodaks". All previous family pictures were studio portraits. Suddenly there were travel and memory photos. Handwritten notes on the back of each print give the feel of a slide show for family and friends.

Itchan Kala is the walled inner town of the city of Khiva, Uzbekistan. Since 1990, it has been protected as the World Heritage Site.
The old town retains more than 50 historic monuments and 250 old houses, dating primarily from the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. Djuma Mosque, for instance, was established in the tenth century and rebuilt from 1788 to 1789, although its celebrated hypostyle hall still retains 112 columns taken from ancient structures.
The most spectacular features of Itchan Kala are its crenellated brick walls and four gates at each side of the rectangular fortress. Although the foundations are believed to have been laid in the tenth century, present-day 10-meters-high walls were erected mostly in the late seventeenth century and later repaired.
