Grand Jamia Mosque, Karachi (Urdu: گرینڈ جامع مسجد، کراچی) also known as Bahria Town Jamia Masjid Complex is a cultural complex under construction in Bahria Town, Karachi, Pakistan. When completed, the complex will include the world's third largest mosque.[1]
The design is a blend of Mughal, Persian, Chinese and Turkish architecture.[1] An area of 50 acres (20 ha) at the top of a 60 ft (18 m) hill was selected so that the mosque would be visible from miles away. The design includes a 325 ft (99 m) single-monument minaret.[2][3] The complex will be surrounded by large gardens surrounded by arch-shaped walls on all four sides.[4][5]
