The Mosqueand Madrassa of Sultan Hassan is considered the finest work of early Mamluk architecture in Cairo, an age of architectural splendour. History says that the construction of this complex was a long and tragic process. In fact, it was built between 1356 and 1363 by Sultan Hassan, who was assassinated shortly before the mosque was completed. Sultan-Hassan Mosque and Madrassa

The Madrassa Mosque of Sultan Hassan was built of huge stone blocks. Due to its enormous height, this mosque soon became a symbol of the culmination of all architectural achievements developed during a century of Mamluk rule. When you arrive at the mosque, your eyes are immediately drawn upward to the blue sky. And when you lower your head, you witness the amazing patterned courtyard paved with mosaics never seen before in Cairo. This is just a small taste of the splendour you will admire inside.
