Emir Abdelkader Mosque
The Emir Abdelkader Mosque is a mosque located in Constantine, the capital of Constantine province, Algeria. It is the second largest mosque in Algeria after Djamaa Al Djazair. The mosque was built with marbles and granite. It has two minarets that are 107m high and a Dome.
The project started in 1968 as a desire to build a mosque capable of accommodating 10,000 in its prayer hall, but when the president Houari Boumediène became involved, it grew into the current, ambitious building: one of the world’s largest mosques and Algeria’s first modern Islamic university. The Mosque was completed and Inaugurated in 1994.
