Emir Qurqumas Complex, Mamluk mausoleum in Northern Cemetery, Cairo, Egypt.
The Emir Qurqumas Complex encompasses a mosque, a Quranic school, a Sufi gathering space, and residential quarters within its architectural layout.
Built in 1507, the complex served as the final resting place for Emir Qurqumas, who commanded armies and held the position of Grand Amir until 1510.
The structure features multicolored marble walls, polychrome wooden ceilings, and intricate Quranic inscriptions that reflect Islamic artistic traditions.
The Polish-Egyptian restoration project, active from 1972 to 2000, established protective measures around the complex and conducted archaeological research.
The mausoleum contains two connected funeral chambers, with one belonging to Sultan Inal and the other to Emir Qurqumas, displaying different architectural styles.
