Sultan Hassan Mosque

Sultan Hassan Mosque Cairo is the city of minarets and the home to one of the biggest collections of marvelous mosques, one of which is the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, which has the power to turn heads as it’s known as one of the most beautiful Islamic structures in the world due to its ability to combine a multiplicity of decorations most elegantly and magically.

Sultan Hassan mosque

regarded as the finest example of early Mamluk architecture in Cairo as it was built by Sultan an-Nasir Hassan between 1356 A.D AND 1363 A.D. Sultan Hassan Mosque and Madrassa are considered one of the most important and impressive historical monuments in all of Cairo to this current day. It is very colossal with 150m in length and covering 7,906 sq M of land and its walls rise to 36M high. It’s rumored that the construction was so expensive, it nearly emptied the Mamluk Treasury and the builders even used stones from the Giza pyramids.

The Architecture of Sultan Hassan Mosque

The mosque’s style of architecture is pretty unique as it is designed in the form of a Madrassa (school). The design of the decorations is known to be very well-organized and systematic in a fashionable manner. Sultan Hassan mosque consists of a central open courtyard in the middle of the fountain, a breathtaking ablutions fountain that was probably added during the Ottoman era.

The central courtyard

is surrounded by four soaring Liwans (teaching areas), skillfully fitted between and behind each Liwan is a madrasa, complete with its own courtyard and four storiesLiwans are bers for students and teachers. The Liwans are dedicated to teaching each of the four main Sunni schools of Islamic jurisprudence which are Hanafi, Malaki, Hanbali, and Sha

Components of Sultan Hassan Mosque

Sultan Hassan also built a mausoleum for himself which was not used, behind the largest Liwan which included a number of splendors of Islamic art for its walls which are paneled with colored stone and marble, the upper parts of it boast a band of stucco decoration, that consists of an inscription based on Qur’anic verses in “Kufic” script on a floriated background, the style of which rarely seen and also contain the marble mihrab and the minibar. The mausoleum is beautifully decorated as its door is made of bronze and carries radiating

Sultan Hassan Mosque

stars in gold and silver, The marble mihrab is embellished with detailed geometric decoration in marble mosaic, and its dome is supported stalactite pendentives which look very beautiful in the morning time. It’s designed to face Mecca, so the prayers had to face the empty mausoleum every time they faced the qibla which was considered to be very abnormal. Any tourist may confuse it with Al-Rifa’ I Mosque which was built in 1912 as an imitation of this amazing monument.
