A Star of David inside the prayer niche of a 16th century mosque at Bakhchysaray.The name Bakhchysaray means "garden palace" in Turkish.
While I intellectually know that the image in the mosque was not intended to be a Jewish symbol (in the 16th century it was still a symbol of peace and harmony), simply seeing a Star of David prominently displayed in a mosque made a strong impact on me.
