Completely worn down and still heavily damaged by the 1992 earthquake, the Al Maridani mosque shows its beauty for whom takes the time to discover it. As a bonus, the view from the roof and the minaret is fabulous.
On a walk through the Darb al-Ahmar neighbourhood, I visited the Al-Maridani mosque, one of the many mosques in this vast city. The courtyard was almost empty, and perhaps therefore looked big. On the right was a beautifully decorated wooden panel wth Quranic texts in calligraphy; a door led to the Qibla riwaq, the prayer hall with the qibla wall and mihrab, directly pointing towards the Ka'bah in Mecca and thus giving the direction of prayer. The late afternoon light fell into the prayer hall, and the first impression was one of decay. Apparently, the 1992 earthquake hit the mosque hard, and restoration has not yet benefited most of the mosque.
