More information on An-Nasir Mohammed Mosque
Built between 1318 and 1335, this was once the main mosque of the Citadel. Although neglected for a long time (it once served as a warehouse), the mosque has now been fully restored and is one of the best preserved examples of Mameluke architecture. The walls are plain, the arcades are simple and the columns are Byzantine in style. The mosque's distinguishing features, however, are the two minarets that are topped by bulbous domes and covered in blue Persian-style faience tiles. The mosque has two entrances: one is an archway once used by soldiers; while the other, with an inscribed arch decorated with stalactites, was used exclusively by the sultan.
