Many
mosques
are
famous
works
of
architecture.
They
are
often
built
in
a
style
that
has
stayed
the
same
for
many
centuries.
Many
mosques
have
prayer
halls,
domes,
and
minarets.
They
may
also
have
a
courtyard.
Mosques
are
often
built
with
patterned
walls.
Mosques
were
first
built
on
the
Arabian
Peninsula.
The
Muslims
who
built
them
used
old
architectural
styles.
They
also
combined
these
styles
in
new
ways.
A
major
influence
was
the
palaces
built
during
the
Parthian
and
Sassanid
dynasties
of
Persia.
The
Sarvestan
palace
from
the
Sassanid
era
is
a
good
example
of
this.
It
has
an
arched
entrance
and
a
central
dome.
These
features
already
existed
in
Persia
before
Islam.
After
the
Arab
invasion
of
Persia,
the
new
style,
with
its
Sassanid
influence,
was
used
for
the
new
Islamic
world.
Many
forms
of
mosques
have
developed
in
different
regions
of
the
Islamic
world.
Important
mosque
types
include
the
early
Abbasid
mosques,
T-type
mosques,
and
the
central-dome
mosques
of
Anatolia.
In
the
20th
century,
many
countries
that
grew
rich
from
oil
paid
for
the
building
of
many
new
mosques.
The
rulers
of
these
countries
often
hired
leading
architects
to
design
these
mosques.
They
included
non-Muslims.
