The Iconic Faisal Masjid. - a photo on Flickriver

The Iconic Faisal Masjid.

            I think, it would be fair to say that it is the most iconic building in the entire country of Pakistan. Its located in the capital city of Islamabad. 

The design was created by a Turkish architect vedat Dalokay and the design is based on Bedouin tent. Bedouin is an Arab nomadic tribe. The mosque is named after a Saudi king named King Faisal.

The construction was started  in 1976(completed in 1986) and until 1993 was the largest mosque in the world having the capacity of 300,000 people who can pray at one time inside the compound.

Located at the foot of the Margalla Hills, it is very dominant in the profile of Islamabad as a city, as it is visible for almost the entirety of the city.

- at Margalla hills national park, Islamabad capital territory, Northern Pakistan.
