I really dislike it when people label all and everything as "Islamic". Some examples are Islamic Music, Islamic ruling/regime/government/republic, Islamic economy and even Islamic toilet.

#Quran alone defines what #Islam is. Quran [almost] doesn't have any opinion about any of these, and many other things people label as "Islamic".

Andalusian architecture stands as one of the most significant cultural legacies left by Islamic civilization in the Iberian Peninsula. It was not merely a collection of building styles or geometric decorations, but rather a reflection of the dialogue between civilizations—Arab Muslims, Spanish Christians, and Jews.

Moroccan architecture, especially in cities like Casablanca and Rabat, reflects a unique synthesis between historical heritage and contemporary design found in Moroccan Modern Architecture. While Islamic and Andalusian styles remain deeply embedded in urban landscapes, modern developments increasingly incorporate global architectural trends while respecting local identity.

#Doorsday's child has far to go ... all the way to #Córdoba in fact.

This is a lovely old #door from the Mosque-Cathedral or #Mezquita with details of #MoorishArchitecture. In fact, it's one of the oldest surviving gates of the former mosque! The door's decoration dates back to 855 when it was known as Bab al-Wuzara ("Viziers' Gate"). Lots of Al-Andalus state officials used to enter the mosque here. The Great Mosque of Córdoba was converted into a Catholic #cathedral in the 13th century. It's a World Heritage Site since 1984.

A weathered stone facade, likely part of a historic building such as the Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba, dominates the frame. The stonework is a light beige, showing significant signs of age and erosion, with varied textures and uneven surfaces.
A prominent horseshoe archway, characteristic of Moorish architecture, frames a set of aged, dark metal double doors. The arch is outlined in a lighter stone and features alternating red and white voussoirs. Above the archway, there is a rectangular panel with intricate, though worn, carvings.
Flanking the central archway are sections of the stone wall with further decorative elements, including what appear to be blocked-up windows or niches with geometric patterns. The top of the facade is crenellated, with a series of rectangular merlons against a partly cloudy blue sky.
The ground in front of the facade is paved with light-coloured stone slabs, showing some signs of wear.

The Kalyan Mosque at night, in Bukhara, shortly before I attempted to take a “short cut” back to my hotel. Turns out most backstreets in Bukhara have no streetlights and very uneven pavement.

Looking through the small mosque at Shah-I-Zinda towards the domes of the necropolis. Samarkand, Uzbekistan. It really bugs me that the door and window above aren’t centered below the arch above it and the shape of the wall...)

Restorations in progress inside the ruins of the Ishratkhana in Samarkand in 2017. The building stands in a grassy, litter-strewn lot on the outskirts of the city, and was boarded up, but I found an opening and poked around.
