location 📍g.co/kgs/xadVN7 A mosque in Qatar's Al Shahaniya City is gaining attention online thanks to its distinctive leaning minaret.
Affectionately nicknamed the 'leaning mosque of Doha', the structure is drawing comparisons to the famed Tower of Pisa, the Italian landmark known for its lean of just under four degrees.
Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani, chief executive of one of Qatar's biggest conglomerates Al Faisal Holding, is behind the architectural wonder.
He said he envisioned a mosque that would distinguish itself from any other in the world, with its minaret blending tradition and modernity and marking a distinctive presence in the landscape.
“We constructed an inclining minaret to honour the traditional Islamic architecture, recognise Qatar's rich architectural history, and give a distinctive aspect to our building,” said Sheikh Faisal.
“This architectural masterpiece not only draws tourists and visitors to our nation, but it also symbolises our desire of integrating traditional aspects with modern design.”
New tourist spot
Construction of the unique structure took over a year with the final phase completed in 2022.
The leaning mosque stands beside the Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani Museum and Al Samriya Hotel.
