Dome of the Rock (Jerusalem)<\/h3>\n

\"Most<\/a><\/p>\n

It was initially completed in 691 CE at the order of Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik during the Second Fitna, built on the site of the Roman temple of Jupiter Capitolinus, which had in turn been built on the site of the Second Jewish Temple, destroyed during the Roman Siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE.

\"Most<\/a><\/p>\n

Masjid-i Nasir al-Mulk (Shiraz, Iran)<\/h3>\n

\"Most<\/a><\/p>\n

From the outside, the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, Iran, seems like a fairly traditional house of worship \u2014 but it\u2019s hiding a g<\/span><\/strong>orgeously<\/span><\/strong> colorful<\/span> secret<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. The multitude of stained glass windows turn the inside of the mosque into a riotous wonderland of color<\/span><\/strong><\/a> that is absolutely breath-taking. It\u2019s also known as the \u201cPink Mosque\u201d for the rose-colored tiles that cover the interior<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. However, picking out just one color doesn\u2019t do justice to the plethora of hues that decorate<\/strong><\/span><\/a> it.<\/p>\n

Heart of Chechnya (Akhmad Kadyrov Mosque) (Grozny, Chechen Republic, Russia)<\/h3>\n

\"Most<\/a><\/p>\n

The Heart of Chechnya mosque is one of the largest mosques in the world.

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque (Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.)<\/h3>\n

\"Most<\/a><\/p>\n

The mosque was built on a platform nine meters above ground level at the main entrance of Abu Dhabi. The general plan is a classical hypostyle originally modeled from Moroccan mosques, combined with domed Ottoman mosque architecture. It consists of a large prayer hall, two small prayer rooms, one for daily prayers and another for female worshippers.<\/p>\n

Tilla Kari Mosque and Madrasa (Samarkand, Uzbekistan)<\/h3>\n

\"Most<\/a><\/p>\n

The Tilla Kari madrasa was conceived as the last, largest and most embellished structure of the famed Registan Square. It\u2019s name means \u201cgold-covered<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u201c, referring to the lavish gilt decoration of its mosque\u2019s domed chamber. Yalantush defined the northern edge of the Registan Square with the Tilla Kari\u2019s 120 meter-long fa\u00e7ade, relieving the square\u2019s oppressive symmetry with the off-axis placement of its preponderant dome. The composition is strengthened with the use of domed corner minarets on the main elevation that harmonizes with the square\u2019s character and scale.<\/p>\n

Bibi-Heybat Mosque (Baku, Azerbaijan)<\/h3>\n

\"Most<\/a><\/p>\n

The existing structure, built in the 1990s, is a recreation of the mosque with the same name built in the 13th century by\u00a0Shirvanshah\u00a0Farrukhzad II Ibn Ahsitan II, which was completely destroyed by the\u00a0Bolsheviks\u00a0in 1936.
