How do Greeks live with themselves

Not that I support islamization of Europe, but that Mosque looks better than majority of bland Nordic architecture.

very Persianate/Central Asian style of architecture...reminds me of Bukhara and Samarqand.

This mosque was not funded by Saudi money it seems.

Personally I think it looks horrid and aberrant, hurts my eyes. Something like that would be completely out of place in here. I am glad we only have one single mosque in Portugal that is constantly vandalized to remind these people that they are not welcome.



1143 the year Portuguese Kingdom became officially independent.

Not trying to be a dick, but Portugese architecture is just bathroom tiles with different motifs embedded on walls.

So? Ain't you a connoisseur of Portuguese architecture?

























Just a few examples. I could be here all day. Probably the mosque would fit in Cyprus but it would be out of place in here.

Yes, that mosque will be ot of place in Portuguese, which relies more on Moorish influence rather than Turco-Persianate

Wadaad you are the best in googling Mosque+Moorish+Portugal.........

In case you don't know there is a Mosque today, a modern one in Lisbon. I think it's the only one or one of the two where people of the Muslim faith (almost all of them Guineans, North Mozambicans, some South Asians...) can pray and live their religious life.





Out of Lisbon I think there aren't any more Mosques with that purpose. There are more synagogues and more Jewish influence than Moorish/Muslim in my country.

"Not trying to be a dick", who are you kidding?

Portugal has among the finest architecture in Europe. Look at Cypriot "architecture" first before talking about Portugal

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

ROTFL, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos is a late Gothic style architecture. And a little fountain as an example of our architecture

I can't blame you for enjoying colorful stuff with aberrant colors, it must remind you home.



Beautiful architecture style in this magnificent tower on the middle of Mogadishu.

I don't know why people seem to coorelate a religion with a country where only 0,1% of it's population adheres to it.

Moors, excepting for Algarve and for Lisbon always cared a shit for the western parts of Iberia.
