For a society based on freedom and equal rights,making the built heritage more accessible is a key to providing itscitizens with autonomy, freedom of choice and the means to pursue anactive social and economic life. Accessibility is therefore fundamental right to access to the other rights and to fully participate in to the dailylife.This study, which focuses on the accessibility of historic environment, isto discuss what actions are essential to ensure access and equal mobilityconditions within mosque architecture to all people, regardless thediversity of their (dis)abilities.
