Mosques

The large green-domed Taynal mosque is a great example of the magnificent Mamluk architecture. Constructed from 1326 until 1336 on the site of a former 13th-century Carmelite church, its interior displays impressive decorations, ablaq and Arabic inscriptions. The nave in the first prayer hall and its granite Egyptian column with a Roman Corinthian crown are the remains of a Christian church.
