Built in 1504 by Sultan Quansuh al Ghouri, this building is a delightful example of Mameluke architecture. Situated opposite the mausoleum of al Ghouri, the two buildings form a fine monument to the Mamelukes. Look out for the unusual chimneypot minaret before you enter. The large entrance trilobate arch is beautifully decorated with stalactites. The entrance leads to a corrider that opens on to a central courtyard with four liwans. A visit here is well worth your time.
