Inside the Sultan Hassan Mosque I

Cairo, Egypt

This mosque was build between 1356 and 1363.
During its construction in 1961 one of minarets collapsed and killed several hundreds of people.
Sultan Hassan was murdered that same year and so did not witness the completion of the mosque.
His body was never recovered, but two of his sons are buried in the mosque.
It is Cairo's largest mosque.
