GOALDI MOSQUE

Inside, the prayer room forms a cube with every edge measuring 7,57 m. The thick walls of 2 m guarantee a certain freshness, even at the height of the summer. The main entrance consists of three open arches surmounted by a eardrum adorned with sculpted lotus. These are reminiscent of the lotus held by the Hindu god Surya.
