Sultan Hassan Mosque
Sultan Hassan Mosque and Rifai Mosque in Cairo. View from the Citadel.
"Gâmi' Sultân Hasan, the 'superb mosque', and the finest existing monument of Egypto-Arabian architecture. It was built in 1356-59 for Sultan Hasan, perhaps by a Syrian architect, and has been restored by Herz-Pasha. The huge proportions of the building, which occupies a shelving rock below the citadel, taken in conjunction with the masterly execution of its details, produce an effect of great majesty".--Baedeker 1914
