Mosque Essalam, Rotterdam | NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱

The Essalam mosque is a large mosque in the Rotterdam district of Feijenoord, near football stadium De Kuip. The prayer house is the largest mosque in the Netherlands. Due to its size, the mosque is very important for the neighborhood. The dome is 25 meters high and the minarets are 50 meters high. The original Essalam Mosque was founded in 1987, but soon proved too small for the 2,500-strong community. The construction of a new prayer house lasted from 2003 to 2010 and was accompanied by many problems, with construction regularly coming to a standstill. Finally, the Essalam Mosque was inaugurated in 2010. A misunderstanding is that the mosque would be the largest in Europe. In Western Europe there are larger mosques in Rome, Paris, Évry and London. The Essalam mosque was designed by the Dutch architect Wilfried van Winden. The design is based on the so-called medina concept (after the architecture of the large mosque in Medina) and builds in style on the tradition of, among other things, the fifteenth-century Mamluk architecture in Cairo. The building consists of three spaces pushed together: the prominent entrance portal on the west side, the main room in the middle and the semi-circular mihrab (prayer niche indicating the direction of Mecca) on the southeast side. The three spaces are crowned with domes. The facade is clad with colored natural stone slabs and has accents in nuanced blue-grey stone. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Track: Turkey — Amine Maxwell [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch:    • Turkey — Amine Maxwell | Free Backgro...   Free Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/turkey ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
