Architecture inspired by religion is often some of the most awe inspiring there is, and these mosques are certainly no exception. They feature some of the most intricate and detailed designs you are ever likely to see.
The ceilings of mosques appear to be the most decorated and striking feature, perhaps because they are what worshippers see when they look up to the heavens. With their geometrically inspired patterns and beautiful array of colours these are some of the most beautiful ceilings anywhere in the world.
