Points included in this audio guide

1
Cúpula principal

Cúpula principal

The mosque's main dome, spanning 25.75 metres, rises over a square impost and dominates the entire interior, defining the prayer space below.

2
Patio en herradura

Patio en herradura

Unusually polygonal in plan, this horseshoe-shaped courtyard breaks entirely with the rectangular tradition of classical Ottoman mosque courtyards and has no central fountain.

3
Biblioteca de planta oval

Biblioteca de planta oval

The complex's library features a remarkable oval plan inspired by San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in Rome, making it one of the clearest examples of European influence on the site.

4
Mihrab

Mihrab

The mihrab projects outward in a polygonal form topped by a half-dome, clad in marble with moulded detailing that reinterprets Western decorative vocabulary in a distinctly Baroque spirit.
