Sinan Pasha Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Bulaq, Egypt
The Sinan Pasha Mosque stands with a square prayer hall, eleven shallow domes surrounding the gallery, and a pencil-shaped minaret in the southern corner.
Constructed in 1571 under the patronage of Koca Sinan Pasha, the governor of Cairo, the mosque initially stood directly on the Nile shore before the river shifted westward.
The mosque integrates Mamluk and Ottoman architectural elements, featuring three entrance portals decorated with Muqarnas stucco work and the largest stone dome in Cairo.
The mosque remains an active religious center in the Bulaq district, though its structure does not accommodate wheelchair access for visitors with mobility requirements.
The religious complex originally included three khans and maintains a preserved hamam, while drawing design influences from the neighboring Fadawiya Mausoleum.
