Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan

Although it stands in the shadow of the Citadel, Sultan Hassan's madrasa and mosque still manage to make a strong impression. The building is a colossal example of Mamluk architecture and was constructed during the 14th century for a sultan who was famous for his extravagant spending, making the building's sheer size an impressive sight in its day , but modern visitors are sure to be impressed by its beautiful and graceful architecture. The Sultan Hassan Mosque is one of the most valuable Islamic monuments, as it came with an Islamic architectural design that includes decorations, inscriptions, muqarnas, domes and towering minarets.
