Al-Qala'a Mosque, Mosque in the Tower of David, Old City of Jerusalem, Palestine
The Al-Qala'a Mosque occupies the western section of the upper floor within the southwestern tower complex of the Jerusalem Citadel.
The minaret, constructed by Sultan Sulayman I in 1531, underwent restoration during Sultan Muhammad IV's reign to maintain its structural integrity.
This mosque holds distinction as one of only two Friday mosques within Jerusalem's city walls, serving alongside the larger Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Visitors enter through an eastern entrance porch inside the Jerusalem Citadel, following specific dress codes and visiting hours.
The mosque contains six modified wall recesses with slits, which were altered to accommodate the installation of the mihrab and minbar.
