Shah-e Doh Shamshira Mosque

Located in the heart of Kabul, amidst the busy marketplace, the Shah-e Doh Shamshira Mosque is one of Islam's most remarkable structures. Built in the 1920s as part of Amanullah's renovation push, the mosque itself is quite unusual since it features a different style of architecture which would suit the European settings much compared to other Afghanistan's mosques. It also has two storeys which is very rare for mosques. However, it is the best tourist place in Kabul Afghanistan and attracts a lot of visitors. The facades are all Italianate baroque, with stucco details, and are painted in a bright lemon yellow.

After a lady was slain in a lynching, Shahe-e Doh Shamshira became well-known politically as the site where women stood up for their rights. It was one of the few instances in which justice was on the woman's side, and all of the criminals were brought to justice. Since then, the mosque has become a popular destination for all politically motivated visitors who want to see the historic site for both its present and ancient significance.
