A Visit to the Holy Land

CHAPTER IV
24/28

We visited some of the principal, among which the Ulla Drchamy may decidedly be reckoned.

The cupola of this mosque is considered a masterpiece, and rests upon graceful columns.

It is open at the top, thus diffusing a chastened light and a clear atmosphere throughout the building.

Immediately beneath this cupola stands a large marble basin, in which small fishes swim merrily about.
The mosque of Sultan Mahomed I.and of Sultan Ildirim Bojasid must also be noticed on account of their splendid architecture; the latter, too, for the fine view which is thence obtained.

In the mosque of Murad I.visitors are still shewn weapons and garments which once belonged to that sultan.
