These Are the Most Beautiful Mosques in the World

BIBI-HEYBAT MOSQUE (BAKU, AZERBAIJAN)

The new Bibi-Heybat Mosque, reconstructed and expanded between 1997 and 2005, draws from the original 1282 mosque, which was built over the tomb of Ukeyma Khanum, a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. The exterior features local limestone, and the interior is decorated with colorful tilework and gold inscriptions.
