Madrassa & Khanqah of Sultan Barquq - Ceiling of Fountain
This exquisite ceiling of the fountain in the courtyard of the Madrassa and Khanqah of Sultan Barquq is one of my favorite photos from the visit I made to Cairo in March. Barquq's complex of madrassa (school of theology), khanqah (monastery), and family tomb-chamber was erected in 1386.
