Hyderabad Trip: Spanish Mosque

Date: 22nd Oct 2015

Visitors: We were not allowed inside.

Spanish Mosque Timings:  5:00 AM to 9:00 PM

Fee: None

Spanish mosque was built by Paigah Nawab Iqbal Ud Daula in 1906. He was inspired by the Cathedral–Mosque of Córdoba in Spain and he built this mosque after returning from the tour. Instead of the usual minarets this mosque has spires which gives a church like look. I parked the car and went to inquire if we can go inside. The man sitting outside said we can go inside but women are not allowed inside. I went back to the car to get camera and ask Mom and Shilpi to sit inside. When i went back there was another person and again checked if i can go inside but he said NO how ever he said i can click pics outside. So below are the few pics from outside.






A beautiful piece of architecture. Sure the interiors also would have been grand but could not see it :(
