- The Small Mosque - Hamam Street

The small mosque is located at the east gate of Al-Hamam Street. It was the first mosque to be built in the old city of Salt. It was constructed between the years 1906 and 1907. Its elevations were made of yellow stone which is a local stone attributed to the Salt area, and its roofs were made out of wood. This monumental piece of architecture was constructed through the generous donations of the inhabitants of the city.

The mosque consists of a prayer area and an open courtyard tiled with stone, bricks, and stores. In the year 1884 the entity was renovated at the expense of a generous donator. The renovation of the stores were done very professionally both internally and externally, thus giving a graceful feel for the entity while maintaining the originality of its looks. The minaret and the mosque's front prayer area were renovated so that they replicate their original design. This replica was seen as a means to bare witness to the architecture of old mosques within the same area.
