The Trench & Seven Mosques
An area that helps a visitor picture the Battle of the Trench and the terrain the city had at the time.
The area is tied to the Battle of the Trench in the fifth year after the Hijrah. Being there gives you a far better sense of the ground the events took place on, particularly if you have read the account beforehand.
Treat it as a historical landscape for understanding the seerah, not a set of separate points to photograph.
Historical note
The area is associated with the Battle of the Trench, 5 AH.
Naqsh tip
Read a short account of the battle before you arrive; the details of the place mean more afterwards.
