What is a Folly? A folly is a term that describes a structure created mainly for admiration and the aesthetic value it adds to  its landscape. Follies can have little to no function but can be a focal point for its environment, and can  sometimes have a romantic essence about them.

Its style has evolved from Ancient empires such as Mesopotamia and Rome, and from not so distant centuries, they have been influenced by Chinese and Mughal Architecture. Islamic Architecture is famous for its symmetrical silhouettes, radiant colors and rich patterns which have all been key parts of its image, since the 7th century.  Islamic Architecture is a compilation from several countries spanning across continents. There remains a consistency with its ideals and the ethos of its design and feeling it creates to the viewer. From its main association to Mosques, to other religious or secular structures such as tombs, palaces, public buildings and forts.  On this post, my main focus would be on domes and the Ottoman Empire but I will briefly expound on other cha...
