This is the 2nd part to the Finest Architecture made by Muslims over the span of time. Muslims have always had a history of creating some of the best architecture around the world. Dubai itself is one of the biggest example. Apart from that, we see the Taj Mahal made in the Mughal times. And many more

The title of the building and it’s location can be seen in the image name. You can use them as wallpapers too, but most of them are small at 1024×768.

Taj Majal in India is a mausoleum not a Mosque…wikipedia: Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Islamic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish and Indian architectural styles.[5][6]

In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble
mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is
actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began
around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of
artisans and craftsmen.[7]
The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of
architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma’mur
Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri.[8][9] Lahauri[10] is generally considered to be the principal designer.[11][12]
