This is not the larges Mosque in the world.This one, however, which is the largest Islamic mosque in the world, is ugly to me. It looks like a kid's sand castle and lacks all the features that makes Islamic architecture beautiful to me:
But is the larget mud brick/adobe building in the world.
The Great Mosque of Djenné is the largest mud brick or adobe building in the world and is considered by many architects to be the greatest achievement of the Sudano-Sahelian architectural style, albeit with definite Islamic influences. The mosque is located in the city of Djenné, Mali on the flood plain of the Bani River. The first mosque on the site was built around the 13th century, but the current structure dates from 1907. As well as being the centre of the community of Djenné, it is one of the most famous landmarks in Africa.
