Emir Munzer Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Central District, Lebanon
The Emir Munzer Mosque exhibits a prayer hall with pointed arches supported by Roman granite columns and features a Mamluk-style octagonal minaret.
Built in 1620 by Governor Emir Munzer Al-Tannoukhi, the mosque underwent major restorations in 1749 by the Shihab dynasty and in 2002 following the Lebanese Civil War.
The mosque holds daily prayers and religious ceremonies while serving as an educational center for Islamic teachings in the heart of Beirut.
The mosque maintains two separate entrances: the original 17th-century arch portal from Souk Al-Bazarkhan and a triple-arched entrance on Riad Al-Solh Street.
Eight Roman granite columns stand in the mosque's courtyard, demonstrating the integration of ancient architectural elements into Islamic religious structures.
