Mahkamah Mosque, Mamluk mosque in Gaza City, Palestine
The Mahkamah Mosque features a central courtyard situated below street level, with three rectangular rooms topped by small domes for religious instruction.
Built in 1455 by Sayf al-Din Birdibak al-Ashrafi, the mosque initially served as both an educational institution and a place for regular prayers.
The structure incorporates architectural elements from Egyptian and Syrian traditions, displaying marble panels, floral patterns, and Quranic inscriptions throughout its chambers.
The mosque sustained substantial damage during conflicts in 2014 and 2023, making access contingent upon local security conditions and ongoing reconstruction efforts.
A Kufic inscription discovered within the mosque belongs to Muhammad ibn al-Abbas al-Hashimi's tombstone, dating back to the ninth century.
