Old Fontana

Old Fontana in Alektora Village
Before entering the mosque, worshippers remove their shoes and cleanse their hands and faces in a designated area just to the right of the entrance steps. It is a three-story water receptacle made of carved stone (Pachnas-region limestone sandstone). There are three decorated compartments and a basin on the front of the fountain. In addition, there is a tap in each alcove. This structure is often referred to as the “Mosque Fountain.” It contains no date. Some claim that it was constructed in 1907, the same year as the large fountain in the courtyard. Both of these utilise the same materials and decoration, so they are not excluded.
