Mosque of the Companions, Massawa

Information

The little elevated dome that sits atop the stepped-minbar can also be read as the mosque’s minaret or as a domed-minbar in the traditional Ottoman style. The mosque has a footprint that is roughly 3,100 square meters. A tiny star surrounded by a crescent is perched atop the modest domed minaret over the minbar.
