Hi !

No you know this project requires a lot of time and material, not to mention that in parallel I also have a big project "Sengoku Jidaï", so I prefer to focus on these 2 projects!

But I will follow with interest all these projects!

Hi all !

The following !

Royal Elephant Stables / Stables

These stables can accommodate elephants (used for pack and war) and horses.

Goa was one of the 2 ports of Bijapur which received Persian and Arabian horses (With Chaul).

Horses acclimatized poorly in India, and they had to be imported regularly in large quantities. their wounds did not heal, and they could not reproduce ...

Horses could be traded ... several hundred gold coins one !!!

It was a capital market: Albuquerque was not mistaken in seizing Goa, the Portuguese subsequently continued to supply horses to both the Hindus of Vijayanagar and the Muslims of the Deccan!

The Mosque: Continuation & end (There will still be the interior design to be done)

This mosque is a mixture of architectural elements from Gujarat (Main body and tower) and Deccan (Minaret and dome, with floral motifs carved in stone).

The mosques in these regions are of Indo-Persian architecture (The mosques of Kerala, of which I will make a copy later, are very different, of architecture very specific to Kerala).

In the main body there will be the large prayer hall (with Mirhab - Alcove showing the direction of Mecca - and Minbar - preacher's pulpit), a small medrésé (Koranic school) and a small storage room. the tower will contain the preacher's bedroom and a storage room.

The minaret is purely decorative (the muezzin launches the call to prayer from the tower).

The mosque will be located on an esplanade, and on the side there will be a small basin for ablutions ...

Door and porticos:

A door, of the Central Asian type (it will be perfect for my future Samarkand, I could use it as well for my Timurids as for the DunsterForce in 1918!) But usable in India, and porticoes, always welcome everywhere from the Middle East to India ...

I would also make a square portico that I would use as a forge building on the port of Goa ...

The porticoes accommodate in particular merchants, money changers, etc ...

The roofs are removable ...
