The middle section of the building looks a bit out of place, especially the light blue colour which sits harshly against the pale facade. IMO if the middle section of the building were arched that would have nicely connected the upper and lower floors of the building and mitigated against the dissymmetry caused by the lower windows being arched and the upper windows being rectangular.

Biggest embassy I've ever seen. Where are they going to build it and why is it so big? Are they going to import Turkish guards or soldiers to protect the premises? They probably initiated this project as a result of their embassy getting attacked countless times.

It's already under construction. Northern Mogadishu close to the famous Liido beach. It will house embassy staff and other Turkish nationals in the city.

The old American embassy in Mogadishu is/was much bigger.

Nice looking embassy. Turkey is thinking ahead while some are still too caught up with the present.

Unfortunately, for security reasons not much information is given about this project other than it's under construction and the location is in the Northern part of Mogadishu close to the beach.

This embassy consists of more then 1 building, making it bigger then the embassy of America. Just look for yourself.

Wow this is beautiful and huge building.

I think if possible that Villa Somalia also needs a new location where there's better security. Possibly their building is small as well. Don't know much about it.
