The Bibliotheca Alexandrina, as part of its short documentary series “Aref... Your Origin is Your Future,” has released a new film that offers a glimpse into one of Alexandria's most prominent spiritual landmarks and architectural masterpieces: the Mosque of Imam Al-Mursi Abu Al-Abbas. The film not only recounts the illustrious biography of the mosque's sheikh, but also delves into its deep Andalusian roots, revealing how the story of Andalusia is embodied in the details of its unique architecture, which has stood the test of time.
This film is part of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina's ongoing efforts to document the rich cultural and historical heritage of Egypt and Alexandria, and make it accessible to the public in an engaging and inspiring format, in order to raise awareness of shared identity and history, and highlight the importance of stone and how it can tell the greatest stories.
The film can be viewed on "Aref" official website or through the "Aref" playlist on the BA official YouTube channel in the following links:
