Here are some of the most impressive modern mosques around the world.
Zentralmoschee Köln (Cologne Central Mosque)
Zentralmoschee Köln is designed in a neo-Ottoman architectural style, with partly glass walls, two minarets, and a dome. It is one of the biggest mosques in Europe and the largest mosque in Germany. The 48,000 square foot (4,500 m2) mosque aims to house 2,000 to 4,000 worshippers.
Cambridge Central Mosque
Cambridge Central Mosque is not only the first eco-friendly mosque in Europe but also the first purpose-built mosque within the city of Cambridge, England. Purchasing a one-acre site in 2009 on Mill Road, Marks Barfield Architects was appointed to design the mosque with a world-leading expert in religious architecture named Professor Keith Critchlow.
