Faisal Mosque

Faisal Mosque is a national mosque located in Islamabad, Pakistan. It is one of the largest in the world - its area is about 5000 square meters. Due to its impressive size, the building is very popular among tourists, so the temple is always crowded. The capacity of the building is about 300,000 believers.

The construction of the Faisal Mosque began in 1976 on the initiative of the National Construction Organization of Pakistan. All financial matters were handled by the Saudi government. The project of the mosque was carried out by the famous architect Vedat Dalokai. The construction cost was estimated at nearly 130 million Saudi riyals. The monastery received its name in honor of King Faisal, who contributed to the construction and improvement of the mosque.

Faisal Mosque has an asymmetrical shape, which is characteristic of modernist buildings. At the corners of the building there are four minarets, and nearby there is a beautiful well-groomed flower bed and square. This place can be interesting for adherents of the Islamic religion, as well as for those who want to enjoy a unique structure and magnificent landscapes.
