Usage notes
Inside a mosque, the qibla is indicated by the location of the mihrab and the orientation of the prayer wall. The qibla (as determined at the time of construction) is therefore reflected in the construction of the building. For this reason, and especially in the case of historical buildings, the mosque itself is sometimes said to have a qibla (or qibla direction), possibly different from the independently calculated direction or from that of other nearby mosques.
