"Most notable" is probably a matter of opinion, but
according to the site you reference, the Mezquita mosque in Cordoba, Spain stands out as
particularly unique or noteworthy. Hypostyle, or Arab-plan mosques tend to have a
rectangular construction with an enclosed courtyard, and tend to rely on columns for
structural support while still providing shade for visitors. The Mosque in Cordoba has
over 850 columns, and the author of the article you reference believed that particular
example of hypostyle to be exceptionally noteworthy.
