Carol I Mosque, Muslim religious monument in Constanța, Romania.

The Carol I Mosque features a main square room measuring 14 meters on each side, with a central dome and a 47-meter-tall minaret.

The Romanian government commissioned the construction of this religious edifice between 1910 and 1913, under the initiative of King Carol I.

The interior design includes marble columns from Câmpulung, black marble doors with bronze decorations, and a prayer niche directed toward Mecca.

Visitors can climb 140 steps inside the minaret to reach the muezzin platform and observe the surrounding area of Constanța.

The mosque contains a handmade carpet from Hereke, Turkey, measuring 9 by 16 meters and weighing 490 kilograms.
