Babri Mosque, Destroyed mosque in India
The Babri Mosque was a religious building in Ayodhya, built in 1527 and demolished in 1992. The area is now a fenced zone with high security measures and ongoing legal disputes over the land.
The mosque was constructed in 1527 during the Mughal period under Babur and stood for over four centuries. It was destroyed on December 6, 1992, during a political event that sparked riots across the country.
Its destruction led to widespread communal riots across India.
Access to the site is strictly controlled, and visitors should expect thorough security checks. It is advisable to check current access conditions beforehand, as these may change.
The dispute over the land has been one of the most contentious issues in India.

This collection documents major buildings that have disappeared throughout history. It includes religious structures such as the 15th-century Porcelain Tower of Nanjing, whose glazed bricks gleamed in sunlight, as well as destroyed palaces, theaters, and public buildings from various periods and continents. Among the lost structures are the Colossus of Rhodes, the Temple in Jerusalem, the Great Buddhas of Bamiyan, the Berlin Wall, and the World Trade Center. The reasons for the disappearance of these structures range from warfare to natural disasters to deliberate demolition for urban redevelopment. The Palais du Trocadéro in Paris was demolished in 1937 to make way for the current Palais de Chaillot. The Crystal Palace in London burned down in 1936. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapsed in 1940, just months after opening. This compilation provides insight into lost architectural achievements and the historical circumstances of their disappearance.
