Cairo, Governorate Al-Qahirah: Al-Qalaa (Citadel) Al-Nasr Mohammed Ibn-Qalawun Mosque Bahri Mamluk Dynasty (1250-1382) 1318-1335, Ŧ Al-Nasr Muhammed (1293-94, 1299-1340) |
Comments: The only survived Mamluk-period structure on the terri- tory of Citadel after Mohammed Ali Pasha purges. Many of the columns within the arcaded courtyard were salvaged from Pharaoinic, Roman and Byzantine buildings, but they all blend together surprisingly well. |
