Al-Nasir Muhammad Mosque

Built in 1318, the Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad Mosque is an architectural embodiment of the flourishing era of Mamluk Egypt. Its patron, Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun, was one of the most influential Mamluk rulers. The mosque was built not for the public, but primarily for the sultan himself and his entourage, who lived in the citadel.
