Front Description | Let's start from the name: the Barber's Mosque. if you are asking yourself why the barber, here's the answer: in this mosque there was a barber working. No he was not cutting hair, and no, he was not shaving beards. He had a little room by the counrtyard and he performed the ceremony of circumcision there. Many people came to be circumcised by this barber: his success was due to the fact that he owned 2 hairs from the beard of the prophet Mohammed. The mosque itself is a great piece of Muslim/Arabic art: the corridors leading to the courtyard, and the courtyard itseld are all covered by beautiful decorative tiles, and the doors are very nicely ornated. The interior of the Mosque itself is off-limits to non Muslim people, so I could only take a peak inside: lights were kept dim but it looked beautiful nonetheless. |
