The sanctuary part of the mosque has a wooden ceiling on wooden beams placed vertically on 8 free and 4 false legs, which thicken as one goes to the mihrab and rest on stone plinths, each of which is reused. The tops of the wooden legs should be carved, reminiscent of the column head in the ancient tradition. The mihrab, which is located in a rectangular panel of stone from the wall façade to the outside, is in the form of a niche embedded in the wall.
