About this asset
A colonnaded stone arcade runs along the outer courtyard of the Sultan Faraj Ibn Barquq Mosque complex in the Eastern Cemetery (Al-Qarafa Al-Sharqiya), located along Salah Salem Road in Cairo. The corridor features repeated pointed arches built from alternating limestone and stone masonry, a hallmark of Mamluk-era architecture dating to the late 14th and early 15th centuries. Small potted plants line the base of the wall, adding a contrast of greenery against the warm-toned historic stonework.
