MOSQUE

This Mosque known as “Al-Masjid al-Nabawi” (The Prophets Mosque) located in madina in Saudi Arabia. this Mosque was one of the earliest Mosques to be built in Islam in the time of the Prophet and the second holiest Mosque. The desing, structure and patterns have been changed over time. This Mosque has inspired me to be an architect because of the features contianed wthin the Mosque, the minerats (the long cylinder parts on the corners of the mosque). also, the material used is astonishing. The amount of space contained within the Mosque itself and outside of it is very suprising as thousands of people can be placed in there.
