Çarshia Mosque - The ‘market mosque’ is Pristina’s oldest building, constructed in the 15th century by Turkish Sultan Bajazit to commemorate the 1389 victory. Now no longer part of the old bazaar complex and no longer in posession of a mausoleum, the one-room mosque is marooned in front of the Kosovo Museum.
Muslims are the most populous religious group in Kosova.

Süleymaniye Mosque was built on one of the seven beautiful hills of Istanbul for Kanuni Sultan Süleyman (the magnificent) by Mimar (the architect) Sinan in 1557. It was built in seven years (1550- 1557). Within its building complex are found medreses, a hospital, a hospice, a Turkish bath etc.
The magnificent Süleymaniye that is considered the greatest mosque of Istanbul was built with its complex on an area nearly 63.000 sqm. The building is conspicuous for its simple construction, acoustics, colorful stained glass windows, very precious granite columns, soot room, şadırvan (water- tank with a fountain), four minarets and ten şerefe (minaret balcony). Its inside area is 3.422 m2.
The diameter of its dome is 27.25 m. and the height of the dome is 48.5 m.
The building cost of the mosque and its complex was 59,760,180 akçes (700,000 gold dukas) and 3523 craftsmen worked on its construction. Its corner stone was set by Şeyhülislam Ebussuud Efendi and its door was opened to pray by Mimar Sinan.
The was a wakf (a fund) that supported the mosque. It had 271 properties that included 2 islands and 217 villages. The wages of 275 personnel of the mosque and 311 personnel of the other buildings in the complex were paid by that wakf.
The magnificent temple was damaged from a fire in 1660 and then it was restored. In the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid (1839-1860) all columns were covered with cement and oil paint. In 1956, the paints were scraped off and the minarets, the dome and the vaults were restored.
La mosquée Koutoubia, ou mosquée des libraires, fut débutée sous la dynastie berbère des Almoravides en 1120, mais fut profondément remaniée à partir de 1162 sous l'émir Almohade Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, et devint l'un des édifices les plus caractéristiques de ce style. Son nom vient du fait qu'elle se situait dans le souk des marchands de manuscrits.
La mosquée des libraires s'organise sur un plan en T. Cette tradition existe depuis la construction de la mosquée de Kairouan au ixe siècle, et se retrouve également en Espagne. Il s'agit en fait d'un plan arabe hypostyle, c’est-à-dire comportant une grande cour entourée d'un portique et une salle de prière à colonnes. Les nefs sont perpendiculaires au mur de qibla, celle du centre étant plus large ; et la travée qui longe le mur qibli est également magnifiée, ce qui forme un T, d'où le nom. Le mihrab est traité comme une niche très profonde, et le minaret, haut de 69 m, est de section carrée, selon la tradition de l'occident musulman.
Ses 17 nefs, soutenues par de nombreux piliers blancs, abritent l'une des plus vastes salles de prière de l'Occident musulman (90 x 60 m) pouvant accueillir jusqu'à vingt mille fidèles. Le bâtiment a été restauré dans l'esprit du monument original en 1990, sous l'autorité du ministère de la Culture marocain.

Lovely patterns here, and the mosque was open built from the courtyard so you could obviously see it. Is out of use though really.

this mosque in islamabad can hold up to 300,000 worshippers and was designed by the turkish winner of a design competition. the lines in this mosque are unlike any other mosque i've seen, and that chandelier and giant qur'an were almost disturbing. notice the tiny row of men prostrating in the front.

Istanbul's imperial Mosque of Sultan Ahmet I (Sultan Ahmet Camii) is called the Blue Mosque because of its interior tiles, mostly on the upper level and difficult to see unless you're right up there with them.
The mosque (built 1603-17) is the masterwork of Ottoman architect Sedefkâr Mehmet Ağa. It's built on the site of the Great Palace of Byzantium, on the southeastern side of the Hippodrome (map).
With its six minarets and a great cascade of domes, the mosque is a worthy sibling to Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) just a few minutes' stroll to the north.
