History
Built between 1317–1318 under the Mamluk viceroy of Syria Sayf Al-din Tankiz al-Husami an-Nasiri, located on An-Naser Street near the Marjeh Square and west of the Citadel of Damascus. A mausoleum was built next to the mosque which is known for its Mihrab with Umayyad-style mosaics.[1] In 1831, Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt converted the mosque into a military barracks. During the French mandate, it served as a military school until 1937, when the French evacuated the site, allowing it to resume its original function as a mosque, it was later rebuilt in 1951 after the fire of 1945.[2] Only two portals and the northern minaret remain of the original building,[1] in addition to its adjoining mausoleum.
