Al-Nasser
Mohamed is one of Mamluk
Sultan Qalawun'
s sons. His reign is the most prosperous among other Mamluk
rulers. He left many mosques that
survived to the present-day, as he was encouraging building
and construction.
Al-Nasser finished this mausoleum
and madrasa
complex in 1304. The complex has a Gothic doorway taken from
a crusader church in Acre which his son conquered in 1291 after
defeating the crusaders.
Al-Nasser also built a mosque
in the citadel
that stands to the present day.
The mausoleum houses the bodies of Al-Nasser's daughter and
mother. His corpse is buried in his father's mausoleum,
next door.
The place is currently in restoration and not admissible
to visitors. |
