Taynal Mosque, Mamluk mosque in Tripoli, Lebanon.
The Taynal Mosque features two consecutive prayer halls, with the first hall containing four columns arranged in a square formation beneath large domes.
Founded in 1336 by Amir Taynal, the Mamluk governor of Tripoli, the mosque stands on the foundations of a former Carmelite church and Roman temple.
The mosque contains a marble patio where four chambers hosted councils of different Islamic schools: Shafiyyeh, Hanafiyyeh, Malikiyyeh, and Hanbaliyyeh.
The mosque sits near the Abu Ali River in Tripoli's Bab al-Raml district, surrounded by modern buildings and accessible roads.
The structure incorporates twin spiral staircases within its minaret, leading to an octagonal upper section above a square base.
