Mosque of Taghribirdi, Mamluk mosque in Saliba Street, Egypt
The Mosque of Taghribirdi exhibits stone masonry with geometric patterns, ablaq decorations, and marble accents throughout its dual-facade structure in Cairo.
Built in 1440 during Sultan al-Zahir Jaqmaq's reign, this religious complex commemorates Amir Taghribirdi, who led the Mamluk army against Cyprus.
The building functions as a mosque, madrasa, and Sufi convent, reflecting the integration of religious education and worship in medieval Islamic society.
The entrance on Sharia Saliba leads to the main prayer hall, while the minaret with its square base stands behind the public water fountain.
The small brick dome next to the tomb displays an intricate lozenge stucco pattern, characteristic of early fifteenth-century Mamluk architecture.
