Bakiriyya Mosque is a mosque constructed in Sana'a around 1596–97 by the Ottoman governor of Yemen, Hasan Pasha.[1] The mosque fell into disrepair after the Ottomans were driving out of Yemen in 1626 but was fully restored when the Ottomans recaptured Sana'a in 1878.[2]
Description[]
The mosque has one minaret and a large prayer hall covered by an Ottoman style dome.[3] Several smaller domed extensions surround the main prayer hall.[3]
Interior[]
The minbar and mihrab were made of material imported from Istanbul.[3]
