“Great
mosque, Samarra, [was] built...in the caliphate of Al-Mutawakkil...This
is the largest mosque in the world. Built entirely of brick within a
wall flanked with towers, it has a 55 m. high minaret with a spiral ramp
that recalls the ziggurats of Mesopotamia.”.
—Henri
Stierlin. Comprende l’Architecture Universelle 2. P. 347.
