The Golden Temple
The Golden Temple is the largest temple in Barrakesh . It is actually a large cluster of temples, with a large temple dedicated to each of the gods of the Vassagonian pantheon.
True to its name, the pillars and walls of the Golden Mosque were inlaid with brilliant gold.
This temple towered 90 feet (27 meters) over the other mosques and buildings in the Pilgrims' District and was the tallest building in Barrakesh and the entirety of the Vassagonia . Like the rest of the exterior structure, the central dome and four tall minarets were covered with gold, shining under the intense rays of the sun for all to see and behold with awe.
Ramps led to the entrances of the mosque, allowing those who approached a splendid view of the shining dome and minarets.
Huge pillars inlaid with gold and ivory framed the main archway leading inside the mosque. Artfully crafted hallways depicted the wonders of the Enlightened gods. The huge central room of the Golden Mosque opened to the dome rising high above. Every surface within the main room was decorated with more depictions of the gods. Five thousand people could easily worship in this area at the same time.
