At Right - Shah-do-Shamshira Mosque (the Mosque of the King of Two Swords) in Kabul, (Pashto: شاه دوشمشېره جومات), is a yellow two-story mosque in Kabul, Afghanistan (District 2) on Andarabi Road, just off the Kabul River and the Shah-Do Shamshira bridge in the center of the city. It was built during the reign of Amanullah Khan (1919-1929). It was modelled after the Ortaköy Mosque in Istanbul. The design of this mosque is quite unusual for Islamic religious architecture. Its Italian decorative stucco creates an interesting effect that some describe as ‘Afghan Baroque’. Seal of The Afghanistan Bank above. |
