Welayat Mosque, Mamluk mosque in Gaza City, Palestine
The Welayat Mosque stands along Omar Mukhtar Street in the Zaytoun Quarter, featuring intricate stone work, large domes, and detailed architectural designs.
Built in 1344, the mosque structure underwent modifications in 1584 when Ahmed Bey, the Ottoman clerk of Wilayat Dimashq, commissioned additions to its western section.
The mosque functions as a central gathering point where local Muslims participate in daily prayers, educational activities, and community organization meetings.
Located at coordinates 31.5039° N and 34.4624° E in central Gaza City, the mosque maintains regular prayer schedules following the Asia/Gaza timezone.
The entrance displays an inscription bearing the name of Mamluk Sultan Qalawun, while the interior houses a preserved white marble minbar noted by historic travelers.
