The Grand Mosque of Rome



The other day we visited Rome's Grand Mosque(the largest in Europe) on the outskirts of the city. What I liked most about being inside the mosque was the feeling of uncluttered space and the use of natural light. Visual representations of God or prophets are not allowed because they can be worshipped as idols. Instead, the mosque was decorated with incredible geometric patterns and little details.
