Emir Abdelkader Mosque, Mosque in Constantine, Algeria.

The Emir Abdelkader Mosque features two 107-meter minarets and a central dome rising to 64 meters, built with marble and granite materials.

The construction project began from a 1968 initiative and transformed into an Islamic university complex before its official opening in October 1994.

The mosque integrates an Islamic university with three faculties focusing on Islamic arts, law, economics, and theology studies for the regional community.

The religious complex spans 13 hectares and contains separate prayer halls for men and women, with a total capacity of 15,000 worshippers.

The mosque's mihrab stands out as a masterful architectural element carved from a single block of marble within the main prayer hall.
