World War 1, South-West Asia, Palestine, Jaffa, Mahmoudiya Mosque, 10 Light Horse. 1917
1917The Mahmoudiya Mosque (Arabic: مسجد المحمودية, Hebrew: מסגד מחמודיה) is the largest and most significant mosque in Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Israel. It is composed of a complex of buildings arranged around two large courtyards and a third, smaller, courtyard. The buildings, gates, and courtyards were built at different stages throughout the 18th and 19th centuries while Palestine was under Ottoman rule
Around the turn of the 20th century, the center of government moved to the east of the mosque, just outside the ancient walls. In order to facilitate access to the mosque from the government building, a new gate was built in the eastern wall of the mosque, facing the clock-tower plaza. The gate, named "the gate of the governors", reflects the design of Sabil Sulayman, built in Jerusalem in the 17th century by Suleiman the Magnificent.
