First Central Jam-e Mosque


Sure a mosque in Oslo seems somewhat incongruent, but there it is! There are about 5 mosques of note in the city this is the second largest one. It was finished in 1995. The color in the photo isn't that great, it is incredibly bright blue. The tile is from Iran and spain and it is really something. Apparently the inside can hold 1500 members. Supposedly they have the call from the mineret on Fridays. But we have not heard it so far. The mosque is about a 10 minute walk from our house, on a small unassuming side street.
