Grande mosquée de Strasbourg

Completed in 2011, the Great Mosque of Strasbourg is among the latest works by internationally renowned Italian architect Paolo Portoghesi. Known for his significant contributions to architecture, Portoghesi’s notable early work includes the Sacra Famiglia church in Salerno, Italy. He graduated as an architect from the Faculty of Architecture at La Sapienza University in Rome in 1957, and later earned a degree in art history in 1958. The mosque reflects Portoghesi's architectural vision and cultural engagement, highlighting the blend of contemporary and traditional elements in a religious context.
