Mosque
The Hypogeum is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and can be found down a side street in a residential area and was found by mistake when the tenants of the house were digging down and stumbled across it. The labyrinthine complex extends 11 meters underground and was hand carved out of antlers and stone picks as tools. Limited numbers of visitors are accepted to help preserve the place, so book ahead.
