The Seven Mosques
المساجد السبعة
A group of small mosques on the site of the 627 Battle of the Trench, with a large new Trench Mosque nearby for prayer.
The Seven Mosques stand on the western foothills of Mount Sala, where the Muslim defenses were positioned during the Battle of the Trench in 627. Several small mosques are named after Fath (Victory), Salman, Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali and Fatimah. Most of the small mosques are now closed, and the large Trench Mosque built nearby serves for prayer. Admission is free. It is usually combined with the Mosque of the Two Qiblas and Mount Uhud as a half-day pilgrimage tour.
