Umar Makram mosque, Islamic sanctuary at Tahrir Square, Cairo, Egypt.
The mosque features a central dome, multiple minarets, and architectural elements designed by Italian architect Mario Rossi in the early 20th century.
The mosque commemorates Umar Makram, who led Egyptian resistance against French forces during Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Egypt in 1798.
The structure maintains its function as a central location for funeral services of notable Egyptian figures in downtown Cairo.
Located near the Egyptian Museum and Arab League headquarters, the mosque welcomes visitors outside prayer times with appropriate dress code.
During the 2011 revolution, the mosque transformed into an emergency medical center, providing care for protesters in Tahrir Square.
