Demerdash Mosque, 16th century mosque in Al-Wayli district, Cairo, Egypt.
The Demerdash Mosque features a central onion dome with sixteen openings, where eight function as windows and eight serve as decorative elements.
The mosque, established in 1523 during the Mamluk period, was constructed on land granted by Sultan Qaytbay to honor Shaykh Demerdash's service.
The mosque contains three significant tombs: Sidi Demerdash north of the minbar, a Khedive's wife in the western section, and Sinan Pasha in the east.
The prayer hall extends over 110 square meters, with the main structure measuring 11 meters by 10 meters for worship activities.
Three large muqarnas, architectural elements typical of Islamic design, stand prominently in each of the four corners of the religious building.
