Al-Sultaniyya, Mamluk mausoleum in Southern Cemetery of Cairo, Egypt.
The Sultaniyya Mausoleum features two stone domes, a central iwan with ornate stone mihrab, and an octagonal minaret adorned with arabesque carvings.
Built during the 1350s, this mausoleum was dedicated to Sultan an-Nasir Hasan's mother, who passed away during his childhood years in Mamluk Cairo.
The structure represents Mamluk architectural traditions through its ribbed stone domes, muqarnas details, and integration within the City of the Dead cemetery complex.
Located at coordinates 30.02399 latitude and 31.25946 longitude, visitors can access the mausoleum through the Southern Cemetery district of Cairo.
The minaret stands independently from the main structure due to recent urban developments, displaying detailed arabesque patterns beneath its distinctive balconies.
