About this asset
The qibla iwan (prayer hall) of the Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan in Historic Cairo (Al-Qahira Al-Tarikhiya), featuring soaring Mamluk stone arches, an ornate hanging chandelier, a carved mihrab, and worshippers seated on a red carpet. Built between 1356 and 1363 AD under the Mamluk Sultanate, the complex is one of the largest and most significant examples of medieval Islamic architecture in Egypt and the wider MENA region. Natural light enters through the open courtyard, illuminating the vast stone interior.
