The authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) have announced the discovery of 1200-year-old architectural patterns of the Othman bin Affan Mosque. The discovery is part of the initial phase of the archaeology project in Historic Jeddah.
The Jeddah Historic District Programme (JHDP) conducted studies on the mosque’s rich history revealing its traditional architectural styles, including an open courtyard and covered prayer hall.
The mosque, dating back to the 14th century AH, has undergone numerous restorations, preserving its original mihrab and spatial design for over a millennium.
