Description

The Mosque complex of Sultan Qala'un was built along the Shari' el-Muizz in 1284 by Sultan el-Mansur Qala'um. It comprises a mosque, madrasa, a mausoleum and a muristan (which was replaced by a modern hospital in the 1920s). The complex is the earliest example of a new Syrian style of those times, and displays typical Mameluke architecture.
