MINARETS
In the Fezzan and the Jabal Nafusa one still finds examples of the archaic staircase minaret. In its most elementary form (as in the mosque of Nalut), it consists of an external staircase leading from the ground to the mosque roof the minaret being merely a small symbolic structure beside which the muezzin calls to prayer. In the Fezzan this form is elaborated into an external staircase leading to the upper level of a truncated square, sectioned tower. The tower itself (though containing no internal staircase) is related to the characteristic square minaret of urban Maghreb mosques. This North African form tended to be superceded by the tall pencil-like minaret (containing an internal Staircase) during the Ottoman period. This influence can be seen in various vernacular minarets throughout Libya, particularly in moden examples.
