The Shrine of the Cloak (Pashto: Kerqa Sharif) is located adjacent to the main mosque in Kandahar Afghanistan. It contains the Kerqa a cloak believed to have been worn by Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. It is therefore widely held to be one of the holiest Islamic sites in Afghanistan and even considered by some as the heart of Afghanistan.The building’s exteriors are of green marble from Lashkar Gah with tiled surfaces and gilded archways.
