The two architectural structures I chose are the Mosque of Omar (Dome of the Rock) from 687?692 CE located in Jerusalem, Israel, and the Interior of Reims Cathedral from 13th century located in Reims France. Both reflect and worship their respectful Gods through imagery and architectural structure. At the same time both reflect different religious ideals and beliefs, are influenced by different time periods and styles, and are subsequently located in different locations.
