Because of all the clutter you have to look to find this work of art, where once its positioning would have automatically guided worshipers to it. Not surprisingly, this area of the mosque was not as busy as the cathedral coro. Shame.
The mihrab area is fenced off perhaps to protect its intricate artwork of mosaics of gold, rust-red, turquoise and green from the overreaching hands of tourists but probably also to prevent Muslims from praying there, as has happened in the past...
