The Mosque Zaragoza

Tradition attributes the founding of the main mosque of Saraqusta al Baida, Zaragoza the white city, to Hanas al-San'anî, a disciple of one of Mohammed's close associates. This legendary figure died in the city in 718 and, if true, this fact makes it one of the oldest in Al-Andalus.

Literary reports indicate that it was built and that it was enlarged twice in the 9th and 11th centuries, the latter during the reign of Mundir I, the first king of the Zaragoza taifa.
Archaeological discoveries in recent decades have expanded this information. Loose architectural elements and ceramic pieces were joined by the imprint of the minaret on one of the walls of the cathedral, very close to the current tower.
Its closure and excavation have also provided other objects, its layout and part of its internal distribution. The main door of La Seo opens in the same direction as the access to the Muslim enclosure, which consisted of a porticoed ablutions courtyard and a nine-nave prayer hall, with the mihrab, or cavity towards which prayers are directed, on the eastern side facing Mecca.

There are doubts about its permanence in the walls of the current Parroquieta and in the inner tower of the current bell tower.
