The original Masjid was not that large, and today the original exists only as a small portion of the larger Masjid. From 1925, after Medina surrendered to Ibn Sa'ud, the Masjid was gradually expanded until 1955 when extensive rennovations were carried out. The latest renovations took place under King Fahd and have greatly increased the size of the Masjid, allowing it to hold a large number of worshippers and pilgrims. It is also completely air-conditioned and decorated with marble. The newer and older sections of the Masjid are quite distinct. The older section has many colorful decorations and numerous small pillars. Click here to view older section
The Masjid is located in what was traditionally the center of Medina, with many hotels and old markets nearby. It is a major pilgrimage site and many people who perform the Hajj later go on to Medina to visit the Masjid.
