These Are the Most Beautiful Mosques in the World

HEART OF CHECHNYA (AKHMAD KADYROV MOSQUE) (GROZNY, CHECHEN REPUBLIC, RUSSIA)

Completed in 2008, the Akhmad Kadyrov Mosque sits in a large riverside park and is part of a expansive complex that includes a madrasa, library, and student dormitories. The exterior features a dome surrounded by four towering minarets, and the interior’s red-striped marble walls were inspired by the Great Mosque of Córdoba.
