Other 17th century mosques 
All the minarets were built according to the same pattern, a square tower with a round crown at the top.Their purpose, in addition to expressing the Islamic faith, were numerous. Businesses were run out of some, others were used for public meetings.Prayer was still performed in all, but all this paints a fascinating image of a society where everything is religion, yet without fanaticism. It almost looks like the mosque and minaret on the top photo, but it has more elaborate decorations. This is the Abdellatif mosque.
