Sauran was also one of the most important centers of Muslim culture. Travelers talk about a large mosque that was once located in Sauran and a madrasah that stood nearby. Between them was a massive arch with a gate and a small neat cobblestone path. The atmosphere of the ancient city, its blissful air contributed to the spiritual development. "It was built in an open, flat steppe. It is extremely cheerful, light, with a soft, invigorating air that gives the mind joy and strength. All around the area grow and see all kinds of beautiful trees. The city itself is surrounded by a high wall, and around it a moat." , - the thinker Ruzbihan wrote about Sauran in the 16th century.
