Sultan Qala'un Funerary Complex: View of the street facade and minaret

Date

Circa 1910

Creator

Part of: Architectural Lantern Slides of Egypt
Architecture Library, Hesburgh Libraries

Shows the confluence of Syrian (Crusader Gothic and Islamic) influences. A wooden Mashrabiya window is visible on the building to the left.

The complex of the Mamluk sultan Qala'un (reigned 1280-1290) was built in 1284-1285 on the site of the former Fatimid palace. It comprises a hospital (maristan), madrasa, mausoleum and minaret. The hospital incorporated some of the old palace. The madrasa has an unusual four-iwan plan with two vestigial iwans on the sides; it anticipates those popular for madrasas in later centuries.
