About
Quick facts: Over 60 golden domes adorn the roof, and each one is unique in its design. The mosque was built from brick and terracotta, giving the walls a warm, reddish glow that looks especially beautiful in the afternoon sun.
Highlights: Below the floor runs a secret drainage system of terracotta pipes that still channels rainwater away after more than 500 years. When you stand inside the prayer hall and look up, you see that the domes were built without any form of supporting scaffolding, a technological masterpiece from the Middle Ages.
