Al-Burtasi Mosque, Mamluk mosque in Tripoli, Lebanon
The Al-Burtasi Mosque features three domes, a minaret with dark stone front, and white ornamental decorations along its black-lined exterior walls.
Built around 1310 by Isa Ben Omar El-Burtasi El-Qurdi, the mosque integrated both religious worship space and an educational institution for Islamic studies.
The central mihrab displays a rare glass mosaic depicting a goblet against a golden background with green acanthus leaves, uncommon in Tripoli mosques.
Located on the west bank of Abu Ali River in the Bab El-Hadid district, the mosque maintains regular prayer services and welcomes visitors.
The mosque combines Byzantine, Fatimid, Moroccan, and Andalusian architectural elements, visible in its decorative marble patterns and ceiling stones.
