Architectural Photography - Week 76

Hi steemians

Designing a building is what makes them unique and attractive to the people from different cultural background. Before I proceed, I would like to appreciate @theentertainer for hosting this amazing contest. Here is my contribution to the topic above.

The picture above is Ilorin Central Mosque, which was established in 1974 by the late Emir of Ilorin, Zulkarnaini Gambari. The reason for building this mosque is to accommodate a huge number of worshipers. In 2007, money was raised to renovate the central mosque. Fourteen specialists from different countries worked on different angles of the mosque. In fact, it is one of the finest and second most modern mosque in Nigeria with a capacity of 10,000. There are six entrances that lead to the mosque, which were named after renowned Muslim scholars.
