Mezquita, Part Four, the Moorish Bits

As the guidebooks say, no amount of reading or looking 
at pix can prepare you for the enormity and effect of the 
Mosque, this is looking part-way down one side, the 
building could accommodate 20,000 worshipers












Ceiling over what would have been the Islamic holy of holies








Floor stones, each exactly the size of a prayer rug











The Moorish inner sanctum









Mason's mark on one of the hundreds of marble columns

Part of the expanse

Ceiling work









Columns and Moorish arches

Nearly the length of the building, one side
only










And a final inter-denominational comment
