Sidi Sayyid Masjid

  1. The mosque was built in 1510-1515 and is the last building of the style to show any marked originality.
  2. The mosque illustrates a departure from conventional mosque design in that it is composed entirely of arcades of arches.
  3. 8 square piers supporting the arches form the interior of the mosque.
  4. On top of the arcade is laid a flat roof. In the construction of the ceiling, the methods of bracket, diagonal beam and squinch have been used.
  5. Walls are composed entirely of perforated stone screen which have given the building a worldwide reputation. One of the subjects shown in the tracery is the 'palm-and-parasite' motif.
