Description
The entrance to the mausoleum in the previous image leads to a "wide courtyard [seen here] of the type commonly seen in al-Andalus. This is flanked by two porticoes whose Moorish arches, typically Kairouanese, rest on neo-Corinthian capitals with crescent moons, the emblem of the Ottomans, carved in relief. This patio leads to a hall surmounted with a dome [partially visible here] mounted on squinches decorated with stucco panels representing the Hispano-Moorish repertoire." -MA
