The
Mohammad
Al-Amin
Mosque
also
referred
to
as
the
Blue
Mosque,
is
a
Sunni
Muslim
mosque
located
in
downtown
Beirut,
Lebanon.
The
Mohammad
Al-Amin
mosque
is
the
biggest
mosque
in
Lebanon.
Soon
after
the
Lebanon
Civil
War,
very
little
was
left.
Following
a
donation
by
late
Prime
Minister
Rafic
Hariri,
the
foundation
stone
for
the
Mohammad
Al-Amin
Mosque
was
laid
in
November
2002.
The
design
is
evocative
of
the
Ottomans’
monumental
architecture:
with
a
built
area
covering
approximately
11,000
square
meters,
a
48-meter-high
blue
dome
and
65-meter-high
minarets
(placed
on
the
corners
of
the
mosque),
the
mosque
has
become
a
dominant
feature
of
the
Beirut
City
Center
skyline.
It
was
inaugurated
in
2008.
The
Mohammad
Al-Amin
Mosque
contains
multiple
domes.
All
of
the
domes
of
the
mosque
are
made
from
light
blue
tiles.
The
mosque
also
has
multiple
arches,
which
are
couple
stories
high.
The
mosque
has
very
similar
characteristics
to
the
Sultan
Ahmed
Mosque.
2008:
Inauguration
of
the
mosque.
2020:
The
mosque
suffers
severe
damage
in
the
2020
Beirut
explosions.
