The village Kipchak is known as the home village of the first President of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Niyazov. Niyazov, while president, built the Kipchak Mosque and a tomb there for his family. It is in this tomb where Niyazov was buried on December 24, 2006. The Türkmenbaşy Ruhy Mosque, lies across a highway from the rest of the village, it is the largest mosque in Central Asia, and has a capacity of 10,000 people.
The old mosque is in the center of the picture and the reconstructed citadel is just left of the mosque. This is the small country town of Divrigi, Turkey.
The Great mosque (Cami-i Kebir – Ulu Cami) was built in 1835-1836 by Seyit Elhac Mehmet Agha, the Turkish Governor.
It is a two-storey building with large windows, and has five arches in front and one on its left flank. The interior of the mosque is divided into three parts by two rows of columns, each row consisting of five round columns connected to the walls by arches.
At the north-west corner of its front courtyard there is an octagonal fountain built in 1748 by Ebubekir Pasha, then Governor of Cyprus, who constructed chains of wells and aqueducts in the Arpera region eight miles east * of the town to supply fresh drinking water to Larnaca.
Non-Muslims are usually allowed to enter the courtyard of the ancient Ez-Zitouna Mosque in Tunis, Tunisia, but not the prayer hall.

The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, photographed on a long weekend there a few years ago.
Sad times in Istanbul today ..
La mosquée Putra est la mosquée centrale de Putrajaya, en Malaisie. Construite de 1997 à 1999, elle est située à côté du lac Putrajaya et du Perdana Putra.
The Blue Mosque is an 18th Century Shi'a mosque in Yerevan, Armenia. It was commissioned by Huseyn Ali Khan, the khan of the Iranian Erivan Khanate. It is one of the oldest extant structures in central Yerevan and the most significant structure from the city's Iranian period. It is today the only active mosque in Armenia.
The mosque was secularized by the Soviets in the 1920s. Initially a "creative space for Armenian artists, writers, poets, and intelligentsia, facilitating the production of a new cultural and aesthetic order for socialist Armenia", by the 1930s first the Anti-Religious Museum and subsequently the Museum of Antifascism were housed at the mosque. From 1936 until the collapse of the Soviet Union, the mosque housed the Museum of Natural Sciences, which included a planetarium inside the main prayer hall and the Yerevan History Museum.
In the late 1980s, during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the mosque did not sustain any damages because it was considered to be Persian, not Azeri. Following Armenia's independence, the building was renovated with the support from the Iranian government and again started operating as a mosque. The restoration has been described as "structurally necessary but aesthetically ambiguous." A second bout of reconstruction was completed as recently as 2011.
Since restoration, it has become a religious and cultural center for the Iranians residing in Armenia and Iranian tourists visiting Armenia. The Iranian cultural center inside the mosque complex attracts young Armenians seeking to learn Persian.
