Zagreb Mosque

But for the presence of minaret, this modern looking mosque looks like an art museum. The Zagreb Mosque completed in 1987, is the largest mosque in Croatia. An Islamic cultural centre and the Islamic Secondary School are also housed within the building.

Gallipoli Mosque

While roaming the streets of Auburn, a suburb of Sydney, I was surprised to find this beautiful mosque which is not only built like an Ottoman-style mosque but is also named (Auburn) Gallipoli Mosque. Gallipoli in Turkey is famous for the failed Allied offensive in 1915 in World War I. The Allied forces which included Australians also had suffered heavy loss in the Battle of Gallipoli. As per Wikipedia the mosque is largest mosque in Australia and is used mainly by Australians of Turkish origin.

Blue Mosque of St. Petersburg, Another View

This blue mosque in St. Petersburg modelled after the Gur-e Amir, the tomb of Tamerlane in Samarkand, is the largest and the most beautiful mosque in Russia. When built in 1913, it was the largest mosque in Europe.
My processing of GSV this beautiful mosque doesn't do full justice to the grandeur of this mosque. Its full beauty can be relished in some of the Flickr images I have used in my blog - Travelogue of An Armchair Traveller
Another view of the Mosque with different processing can be seen in this post.
