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.

2008-07-20 Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh: Shushi er en av byene som ble hardest rammet under krigen. Det bor fortsatt folk her, men mange bygg er fortsatt ruiner. Under og etter krigen forlot de aller fleste azeriene området og konsekvensene er blant annet forlatte moskéer som denne. Sjåføren vår gjorde et poeng av at de ikke hadde revet eller ødelagt moskéen. Det var ingen synlige tegn på hærverk, men moskéen var likevel i dårlig stand — ikke så rart etter flere år uten daglig vedlikehold i et område med harde vintre.

2008-07-20 Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh: Shushi was was of the cities that suffered the most damage during the war. There are still people living here, but many building have still in ruins. During and after the war most Azeris left the area. As a consequence you have abandoned mosques such as this one. Our driver made a point of the fact that it had not been knocked down or destroyed. There were no visible signs of vandalism, but it was in bad condition — which given years without maintenance and harsh winters is not so strange. Photograph by Christian Fredrik Borchsenius.

The Wazir Khan Mosque (Punjabi/Urdu: مسجد وزیر خان Masjid Wazīr Khān) in Lahore, Pakistan, is famous for its extensive faience tile work. It has been described as 'a mole on the cheek of Lahore'. It was built in seven years, starting around 1634–1635 AD, during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan. It was built by Hakim Shaikh Ilm-ud-din Ansari, a native of Chiniot, who rose to be the court physician to Shah Jahan and a governor of Lahore. He was commonly known as Wazir Khan, a popular title bestowed upon him (the word Wazir means 'minister' in Urdu and Persian). The mosque is inside the Inner City and is easiest accessed from Delhi Gate. The mosque contains some of the finest examples of Qashani tile work from the Mughal period.

From Wikipedia:
Ortaköy Mosque, officially the Büyük Mecidiye Camii (Grand Imperial Mosque of Sultan Abdülmecid) in İstanbul, 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 Sultan Abdülmecid and built between 1854 and 1856. Its architects were Armenian father and son Garabet Amira Balyan and Nigoğayos Balyan, who designed it in Neo-Baroque style.
The wide, high windows let the ever-changing light reflections of the Bosphorus shine in the mosque.
