_Mosque of the Turks

Information

It is a medium-sized mosque with a sober architecture of white walls, characterized by its original minaret and unique of its kind all over the island.

The minaret is slender in the form of a candle terminating in a slender cone, it evokes a phallic reminiscence. A half-high circular gallery, glued, allows the muezzin to call to prayer. There is a large courtyard and a cistern to collect rain water.

At first, the mosque was the only one that followed the Hanafi rite, a rite of the royal family, the court and certain Turkish families on the island. Later, it was converted into the Maliki ritual.
