Al-Attar Mosque
Tripoli, Lebanon · built 1350
The Al-Attar Mosque is a Sunni Islam congregational mosque (jāmiʿ), located at Bab al-Hadeed, in the Old City of Tripoli, in the Northern Governorate of Lebanon. The mosque was built in 1350 C.E. during the Mamluk period. The mosque is widely noted for its unusual layout, its interior bears no resemblance to any other known mosque types, and for its square-shaped minaret, an integral part of the skyline of Tripoli and the tallest Mamluk minaret in the city. As of 2022, the site was subject to ongoing archaeological excavations, while still functioning as an active place of worship for the Sunni Muslim population and as a tourist destination.
