ARCHITECTURE AND BUILDING

MOSQUES

• way to express religious faith
• has a small balcony on a tower called a minaret
• mosques show creative architecture
• much like a roman cathedral to the muslims
• a mosque is a Muslim house of worship

the city of BAGHDAD

• one of the largest Muslim cities
• 100,000 workers helped build the new capital
• in the center was the caliph's palace and the mosque
• around the capital was offices and houses

Growth of architecture

• growth in Muslim lands inspired new architectural ideas
• people started building schools, palaces, and hospitals
• many called the capital, " round city," because of its shape
