Islamic Mosques

Mosques and other buildings built for Islamic worship in this atlas's Religious and Sacred Buildings subcategory, the second largest tradition within this subcategory. Belongs here: any building this atlas records as a mosque or other Islamic place of worship, from a neighborhood prayer hall to a grand imperial mosque, whatever its architectural tradition (Ottoman, Persian, Mughal, Andalusian and others alike). Does not belong here: a building serving any other world religion, gathered under this subcategory's other tradition groups.
