Amir-Sarghitmish Madrassa and Mausoleum
This small institution, famous for its beautiful lanterns, is located next to the Mosque of Ibn Tulun on Al-Saliba Street in Cairo. It was built in 1356 and served as a madrassa, mosque, orphanage and mausoleum after Amir Sarghitmish died. Many of the teachers of this madrassa were from Persia, hence the use of Persian style elements in the architecture and interior design. During your visit, look for the exotic dome and red-and-white masonry of the minaret, as well as the way the mausoleum faces the street so passersby can bless the deceased.
