The Shah-Do Shamshira Mosque, the "Mosque of the King of Two Swords", is located in downtown Kabul along the edge of the Kabul River. It was built in the 1920s by Amanullah Khan (r. 1919-29), who attempted to introduce a number of modern reforms to Afghanistan. In an unusual design for a mosque, it features multiple levels and facades designed in Italian baroque style.
