Ankara september 2011 9085.jpg

Close-up of a detail from the mihrab of the Hacı Bayram Camii.
Adorned with delicate stone carving and intricate Arabic calligraphy.

Mihrab = a semicircular niche in the wall of a mosque that indicates the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca and hence the direction that Muslims should face when praying. The wall in which a mihrab appears is the "qibla wall."

Correspondent: J.M.Criel, Antwerpen.
