Mosque

A mosque is the Muslim place of prayer.
There’s something like 2,000 columns decorating the place recovered from ancient Roman cities.

This watch tower is the oldest of its kind in the world. Flags are raised when it’s time for prayer and faraway citizens can see them and start heading to the mosk. Bells are usually rung as well for the convenience of those nearby.

When praying, men and women are separated. This can be by a wall, a screen, or just a few feet of empty space.

A sundial marking the prayer times so those in the watchtower would know when to ring the bells and raise the flags.
