Al-Ashraf Sayf-ad-Din Barsbay was the ninth Burji Mamluk sultan of Egypt from AD 1422 to 1438. He was Circassian by birth and a former slave of the first Burji Sultan, Barquq.
He was responsible for a number of administrative reforms in the Mamluk state, including the consolidation of the sultanate as a military magistrature and securing for Egypt exclusive rights over the Red Sea trade between Yemen and Europe.[1]
His Red Sea activity included the final destruction in 1426 of ‘Aydhab, a once important port which had been in decline in the previous century.
His mausoleum, which included a madrasa and khanqah, was built in Cairo's Northern Cemetery, and has survived to this day.[2]

By even Ottomon standards, the imperial Fatih masjid built by Ottomon ruler Fatih is huge. It was not built as a single masjid but as a Kuliye, which had madrassahs, library, kitchen, caravanserai, etc. It is a classic example of early Ottomon architecture which promotes not only Islam but informs the visitor about the splendor of Ottomon court. It was completed around 1470 and is one the earliest grand projects after the capture of Istanbul in 1453. You can call it a victory masjid.
You can note the stylistic main dome supported by 4 semi domes based on splendid 4 columns. Also note later additions, the classic chandlier and one-piece modern Turkish carpet in the foreground.
I spent my evening here and had iftari with locals.
