Is there any virtue for some mosques over others?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner will ask: Does praying in a mosque built long ago, hundreds of years ago, have more virtue than praying in a mosque built recently?

Answer:
I am not aware of any hadith indicating that. Rather, a person looks at the mosque that has a larger congregation; whichever has the larger congregation is better.
