Mosque

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:33:18

The towering 30m minaret and the mosque, built in the 14th century by Sultan Hussein Wali and open for public viewing. Today the mosque bears the bullet holes of the bloody Kurdish civil war that took place between 1994 and 1997. It’s possible to climb the spiral staircase to the top of the minaret, if you can find the imam who holds the key.
