WebsiteStunning from a distance, run-down from up close, this crown of the Citadel is an Ottoman-style mosque with a tin dome roof. Built in the mid-19th century, its minarets were rebuilt in the 1930s. Some say the entire mosque is in need of an overhaul. The opulent interior, however, still manages to impress visitors.
