آثار العمارة المملوكية ٥_a .. كتاب العمارة العربية الاسلامية

33 - Turbah Shihab al-Din Ahmad al-Adrai: In the Maqamat locality, northwest of Turbah Aglubek. An important building with a dome and an iwan and a beautiful antique facade, dating back to the eighth century (fourteenth century AD).

34 - Mashhad Al-Ansari: It is located southwest of the city. The place is attributed to the companion Abdullah Al-Ansari. It contains several terraces and domes from the Mamluk era, one dating back to the era of the Sultanate’s representative, Qasrut al-Ashrafi, which he built on the site in the year 833/1429. The second is from the era of the deputy of the Sultanate, Az Dumar. He built it in the year 893/1488 and buried his wife in it. The third was built by the deputy of the Citadel of Aleppo, Prince Misr Bey, in the year 901/1495. The fourth was built by MP Jani Bey in the year 868. All of them are dated by the writings engraved on the doors.

35 - Unknown Turbah: It is located to the west of Shihab al-Din Ahmad’s Turbah mentioned above in the shrines. It is covered by a well-built dome, on both ends of which we find two iwans arranged over the shrines. The soil interface is free of any erosion.

36 - Unknown soil: near Al-Firdaws School, its dome was destroyed.

37 - Sheikh Hamid Al-Zarkashi Mosque and Terrace: inside the Iron Gate. A small mosque, connected to it by a dome supported by arches and pillars with muqarnas capitals.

38 - Khayir Bey Khan: In the locality of Suwayqa Ali, it was built by the last Mamluk ruler in Aleppo, Prince Khayir Bey in the year 920 / 1514. It was one of the best khans in Aleppo in terms of its planning and leadership (see Plan 24).

39 - Khan Uj Khan: The word is Turkish and means three khans. It was also built by Khayir Bey and is known today as Khan Al-Atshan. Its location is in the Nahasin Market, north of the city wall, and it retains its gate, which is rich in inscriptions.

40 - Khan Al-Qasabiya: It is located in Al-Qasabiya Market and is part of the group of covered markets (the city). It was built by the deputy of the Citadel of Aleppo, Prince Abrak, during the reign of Sultan Al-Ghuri (year 916 / 1510), as proven in the inscription engraved on the two doors. It is engraved on the stone above the door (see Diagram No. 25).

41 - Khan Al-Saboun: It is located inside the city market. It was built by the deputy of the Sultanate, Prince Az-Dummar, in the late ninth (fifteenth) century. It has a richly decorated facade (Photo No. 68) and a path with a beautiful copper grille that was stolen a few years ago.

42 - Khan Al-Qadi: in the Bab Qinnasrin locality, near Al-Bimaristan Al-Arghuni. It was established by the judge of Aleppo, Kamal al-Din al-Maarri, in the year 854/1450.

43 - Khan Qartbay, whose current name is Khan Qurtuba, contains a very high iwan inside, and on either side of it are two rooms with two decorated windows in the familiar Mamluk style, as if it were a palace iwan. The appearance of the khan, its architectural and decorative elements, the rings engraved on its wall, and the writing engraved on the iron of the eastern window, all of this makes us attribute this khan to the Mamluk era. As for the blazon, it consists of a diamond shape in the upper field, a large cup with an axe on it and sword skins on either side of it in the middle field, and a small cup in the lower field. It is similar to the blazon used in the days of Al-Zahir Haqmaq. The blazon engraved on Sharaf Mosque is dated 897 AH. But what is strange is that the history books (Al-Ghazi in Nahr al-Dhahab and Al-Tabbakh in Alam al-Nubala) attribute its construction to the Ottoman governor of Aleppo, Qurt Bey bin Khosrow Pasha, who ruled in the year 938/1531. The reason for this may be that the khan was built during the Mamluk era and then completed by the aforementioned Ottoman governor, so it was attributed to him.

44 - Al-Najjarin’s Cellar: It is a covered market in the locality of Al-Bayada, inside Bab Al-Hadid, composed of large arches supported on two rows of pillars, on one of which two lines of Mamluk cursive writing are inscribed dating the building, but it is distorted.

45 - Al-Zanabili Laundry: in Al-Nahhasin district, near Khan Uj Khan. It has an iron door with two leaves on which is an inscription dating the year 916/1510

46 - Hammam Al-Jawhari: In the locality of Bab Qinnasrin, it was built by Prince Aqbugha Al-Jawhari, the deputy of Aleppo and the builder of Al-Atrush Mosque, at the beginning of the ninth century AH (fifteenth).

47 - Al-Lababidiya Hammam: Its original name is Hammam Al-Nasiri, after its creator, Prince Yalbugha Al-Nasiri in the late ninth century AH (fifteenth). It is one of the most beautiful baths and in good condition. Its location is near the castle gate and the Palace of Justice. (Scheme 26).

48 - Hammam Al-Bayada: opposite the Al-Saruwi Mosque, built by Jamal Al-Din Ibn Al-Nafis in the year 854 / 1450.

49 - Souq al-Ghazal pigeons: in the locality of Balqawsa, said to be from the fifteenth century AD.
