Al-Majidiyyeh Mosque, Ottoman mosque in downtown Beirut, Lebanon
The Al-Majidiyyeh Mosque presents Ottoman architectural elements with pointed arches and a tall minaret rising above the city streets.
Originally constructed as a fort in the 12th century, the structure was transformed into a mosque in 1844 under Sultan Abdul Majid's influence.
The mosque functions as a central gathering place for Sunni Muslims in Beirut, maintaining regular prayer services and religious celebrations.
Visitors can access the mosque through the entrance from Khan Antoun Bey Square, with guided tours available during non-prayer times.
The building underwent multiple transformations, from a medieval fort to a religious center, surviving wars and receiving extensive restoration in 2004.
