The architect residing in the Netherlands, Muhammad Khattab, unveiled an engineering project to design giant gates for the entrances to the holy city of Karbala with decorations and shapes inspired by domes and minarets, which he considers important in relation to the status of the holy city for Shia Muslims from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Khattab mentioned in his project study, reviewed by Shia Waves Agency, that “The project submitted by him came based on his admiration for the holy city of Karbala and its significance to Shia Muslims,” noting that “The project consists of different gates and entrances to the city, each has a unique design and style.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He continued, “As an architect, I find this project particularly interesting because it highlights the unique architectural features and design elements of the gates in Karbala.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The goal was to do an excellent job of capturing the intricate details of each gate, from the ornate patterns and calligraphy on the walls to the arches and domes,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He continued, “The first gate, known as the Baghdad Gate, is located on the road leading to the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, while the second gate is the Najaf Gate, which is located on the road leading to the city of Najaf, and the third gate, which is the Gate of Hilla, is located on the road leading to the city of Babylon in central Iraq. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
