Ladies who Lounge
Western society appears inordinately keen on outdated and stereotypical tropes of Islamic architecture, talking of a ‘hidden world’ of Islam in which women are seen and not heard as they live their lives incarcerated in the harem.

Almost without exception they are apsed basilicas varying only in terms of size and the quality of decoration.This region was extensively surveyed…
