Mosque of the Two Qiblas
A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.
The Mosque of the Two Qiblas is located in Medina in the district of Banu Salama, named because the prayer orientation shifted during prayer there. Muslims initially prayed facing Jerusalem until God revealed the command to turn toward the Kaaba in Mecca, and the congregation turned together in devotion.
