At the turn of the 19th and 20th cen­turies, a man named Seya­di, who lived in Muhar­raq, which was the cap­i­tal of Bahrain at that time, want­ed to build a small mosque in an authen­tic style with a minaret, small win­dows and carved gates at his own expense. The build­ing he erect­ed has been attract­ing peo­ple’s atten­tion for over a cen­tu­ry with its unique archi­tec­tur­al style, its cubic forms com­bined with tru­ly ori­en­tal refined lines. The light col­or scheme makes this build­ing a real dec­o­ra­tion of Muhar­raq. Local res­i­dents revere Seyadi’s house as a shrine and come here to pray.
