Mosque of Taghribirdi

The Funerary Complex of Amir Taghribirdi or Mosque and Madrasa of Taghribirdi (Arabic: مسجد و مدرسة تغري بردي) is a historical funerary complex of a mosque and madrasa located in Cairo, Egypt and built in the year 1440, during the Mamluk Sultanate.

The main entrance is found on Sharia Saliba and features typical Mamluk architectural ornamentation, namely ablaq and marble accents.

[3] To the right, the monument encompasses a tomb facade and a small dome,[2] which is constructed from brick and decorated with a lozenge-like pattern made of stucco.

[3] Wooden ceilings decorate the qibla and lateral iwans, while the interior is circled with an inlaid marble dado.

Because of its location at the corner of two streets, the mosque had to be set at an angle of almost 45 degrees in order to maintain a qibla orientation towards Mecca.
