As it stood in 1926

What Grand Mosque of Paris looked like in its prime.

A low, white‑stucco complex set behind a low rusticated stone base and crenellated white wall, punctuated by horseshoe arches and small arched windows. Green glazed tile roofs and awnings cap pavilions and a tall square minaret with patterned tile frieze; a pyramidal green‑tiled roof covers the main prayer volume. Arcaded colonnades shelter a central courtyard garden and marble fountain. Surfaces show fine zellij tilework, carved plaster motifs and painted geometric friezes in muted earth and green tones.
