À propos
Faits rapides: The building has a unique octagonal dome, which is unusual in its architecture. The minaret tower measures about 45 meters and is a remarkable example of early Islamic architecture.
Points forts: The incredible craftsmanship in the stonework shows fine floral-geometric patterns that come to life in sunlight. The mosaic at the entrance reflects sunlight and creates a sparkling color spectacle that few visitors expect.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable shoes as the courtyard is covered with cobblestones.
- Best photo time is shortly after sunrise when the dome catches the first rays of the sun.
- Avoid visiting during midday when the heat is at its strongest.
