Me gusta mucho, he entrado en esta página, depués de ver un reportaje en la Segunda cadena de TVE.
La verdad no sabía que existía algo tan bonito e interesante.
Como consejo de un entusiasta del Arte Medieval Árabe, deberíais poner más fotos del interior de la mezquita.
Muchas gracias porr vuestro trabajo.
