Comment on Why do mosques feel so trippy?
zikzak025@lemmy.world 1 week agoA lot of mosques aren’t that glittery. There are different styles to building mosques
This. I feel like OP encountered one example of a very ornate mosque and is generalizing the rest of them based on that. I know the ones near me are a lot more plain.
By example, compare the architecture of small community christian churches to grand cathedrals in Europe. You’ll find similar extravagance, yet it would be weird to ask why all churches are so ornate just based on those examples.

I love the second example. The Catholic Church needed so much money to build the place that it caused a religious schism.
