More pictures of the Ali Paşa mosque taken in 2011.

As worshippers and visitors at a mosque must take off their shoes, you will always find shoe racks close to the entrance. Here, these are placed outside; sometimes you will find them inside the mosque.
The risk that your shoes turn up missing after your visit is none, except maybe in some Istanbul mosques (but there, watch is being organised if necessary).
