Tripoli Cathedral, Former cathedral turned mosque in Tripoli, Libya
The Romanesque Revival building features rounded arches, sturdy pillars, and large towers standing prominently in the central district of Tripoli.
The cathedral, constructed in 1928 during European influences in Libya, transformed into the Gamal Abdel Nasser Mosque following societal changes.
The structure represents multiple religious traditions through its architectural elements, combining Catholic heritage with current Islamic practices.
Located at Algeria Square in central Tripoli, the mosque maintains regular prayer times and welcomes visitors outside worship hours.
The building remains the only example in Libya of a Catholic cathedral conversion into an active Islamic center of worship.
