Pul-e Khishti Mosque

Pul-e Khishti Mosque is the largest mosque in Kabul, Afghanistan. Located in the center of old Kabul , the Pul-e Khishti Mosque can be identified by its large blue dome. The mosque originally was erected in the late 18th Century, but largely rebuilt under Zahir Shah in the late 1960s. It was damaged during recent fighting in the area, but is one of the few buildings in the area which has had restoration work done on it. cite book |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |editor=Girardet, Edward and Jonathan Walter, eds.|others= |title= Afghanistan|origdate= |origyear=1998 |origmonth= |url= |format= |accessdate= |accessyear= |accessmonth= |edition= |series= |volume= |date= |year= |month= |publisher= CROSSLINES Communications, Ltd. |location=Geneva |language= |isbn= |oclc= |doi= |id= |pages= 291|chapter= |chapterurl= |quote= ]
