Nizamiye Mosque - Midrand, Johannesburg

The Nizamiye Mosque in Midrand, Johannesburg, is a stunning architectural marvel and a significant cultural landmark. Completed in 2012, it is the largest mosque in the Southern Hemisphere, showcasing exquisite Ottoman-style architecture inspired by the iconic Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, Turkey.
