I saw quite a few disappointed muslim refugees here, as this mosque in Schwetzingen Palace gardens serves decorative purposes only. It was built by Nicolas de Pigage.

Etliche enttäuschte Kleingruppen islamischer "Flüchtlinge" oder "Auswanderer" (wie auch immer der aktuell politisch korrekte Terminus lautet) mussten feststellen, dass es sich hierbei nur um eine attraktive Attrappe handelt, die zu rein dekorativen Zecken von Nicolas de Pigage erbaut wurde.

Sultan Ahmet Mosque, popularly known as the Blue Mosque, is one of the famous landmarks in Istanbul. Built in early 1600s during the rule of Ottoman Sultan Ahmed I, it incorporates some Byzantine Christian elements of the neighboring Hagia Sophia with traditional Islamic architecture and is considered to be the last great mosque of the classical period.
Shot here are a series of photographs I took of the mosque and Hagia Sofia at dusk, during my recent trip to Istanbul.
The Blue Mosque, iconic building of Istanbul and perhaps the whole of Turkey is better known to the Turks as Sultan Ahmet Mosque, or Sultan Ahmet Camii, after its builder who died in 1617.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. It is the largest mosque in the UAE and numbers during Eid can be more than 40,000 people.
The Süleymaniye Mosque, built on the order of Sultan Süleyman (Süleyman the Magnificent), "was fortunate to be able to draw on the talents of the architectural genius of Mimar Sinan" (481 Traditions and Encounters: Brief Global History). The construction work began in 1550 and the mosque was finished in 1557.
This "vast religious complex called the Süleymaniye...blended Islamic and Byzantine architectural elements. It combines tall, slender minarets with large domed buildings supported by half domes in the style of the Byzantine church Hagia Sophia (which the Ottomans converted into the mosque of Aya Sofya)" (481 Traditions and Encounters: Brief Global History).
The design of the Süleymaniye also plays on Suleyman's self-conscious representation of himself as a 'second Solomon.' It references the Dome of the Rock, which was built on the site of the Temple of Solomon, as well as Justinian's boast upon the completion of the Hagia Sophia: "Solomon, I have surpassed thee!"[1] The Süleymaniye, similar in magnificence to the preceding structures, asserts Suleyman's historical importance. The structure is nevertheless smaller in size than its older archetype, the Hagia Sophia.
