Witness to the faith of men, and markers of the power of great Muslim rulers, mosques tell us the whole history of Islam in their diversity. Spirituality is incarnated in monuments that reach great heights of ingenuity and beauty, both through their architecture and their decor. The refinement of the art and the immensity of the spaces are the main principles that guide these edifices from Cordoba, to Istanbul, Cairo to Isfahan.
