travel log
This building - on the west side - is a mosque. Its twin, on the east side and shown on the previous slide, actually has no practical function. It is a "jawab," which is a structure solely built to provide architectural symmetry. It was constructed simply to mirror this identical mosque, to provide aesthetic balance to the complex.
