Al Qal'a of Beni Hammad
In the scenic mountainous area, there are the remains of the first capital of the Hamad Emir, built in 1007 and demolished in 1152, a true reflection of a fortified Muslim city. The prayer room of this mosque has 13 aisles and 8 compartments, making it one of the largest mosques in Algeria.
Great Mosque and Hospital of Divriği
This region of Anatolia was conquered by the Turks in the early 11th century. In 1228-29, Emir Ahmet Shah built a mosque and its hospital in Divrigi. The mosque has a single prayer room, topped by two domes. The unique features of this masterpiece of Islamic architecture are the extremely sophisticated construction of the vaults and the creative and colorful decorative sculptures (especially on the three doorways, which contrast with the plain walls inside).
