Emir Assaf Mosque, Ottoman mosque in downtown Beirut, Lebanon.
The Emir Assaf Mosque features a square structure crowned with five domes and displays alternating light and dark stone patterns at its entrance.
Built in 1597 by Emir Mansur Assaf, the mosque stands on the former Serail Square where a Byzantine church once existed.
The prayer hall contains Roman columns supporting the central dome, combining different architectural elements from Lebanon's varied heritage.
The mosque maintains regular prayer schedules and welcomes visitors who follow the dress code requirements when entering the religious building.
The ablution rooms, added in 1934, align perfectly with the street leading to Etoile Square, integrating the structure into the urban layout.
