Great Mosque Description
Immediately west of the Clock-Tower in Jaffa is the Great Mosque or Mahmudiye Mosque, built in 1810 by the Ottoman governor Mahmud Pasha, known as Abu Nebut ("Father of the Cudgel"). The builders re-used antique columns from Ashqelon and Caesarea but mistakenly set them upside down, with the capitals at the foot.
