The Sea Mosque 🕌🌊
Bathed in the late afternoon sun, this view captures the Al-Bahr Mosque (Masjid al-Bahr), Yafa’s oldest surviving mosque, nestled just steps from the sea. Built in the 16th century by the Mamluks and renovated by successive Ottoman governors, the mosque has long welcomed fishermen, travelers, and locals offering prayers to the rhythm of the waves.
Its warm stone façade, wooden shutters, and slender minaret tell stories of coastal life—of azans carried over the sea breeze, of orange blossom seasons, and of a city once flowing with Arabic.
For Palestinians, this mosque is not just a landmark but a reminder of continuity in a place that has endured forced depopulation, military occupation, and fragmentation. The colors in this print—honeyed brick, open sky, soft shadows—carry the quiet dignity of a people rooted in their coast, their history, and their faith.
🖼️ Details:
• High-resolution photographic print
• Features both English and Arabic text
• Geographic coordinates of Yafa included
• Printed on coated paper with semi-glossy, smooth surface
• Available sizes: 12×16 in
• Carefully packaged for safe shipping
🎨 A color palette strip is featured at the bottom—pulled directly from the mural—making this piece perfect for lovers of thoughtful design, heritage, and Palestine’s vibrant visual culture.
