The Citadel of Cairo, also known as the Citadel of Saladin, is a fortification from the medieval Islamic era located in Cairo, Egypt. Constructed by Salah ad-Din and expanded upon by succeeding Egyptian leaders, it served as the governmental center of Egypt and the living quarters of its rulers for almost 700 years, spanning from the 13th to the 19th centuries.
The Alabaster Mosque, also known as the Great Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha, is located within the Citadel of Cairo in Egypt. It was commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha and constructed between 1830 and 1848. Perched on the citadel’s summit, this Ottoman-style mosque is the largest of its kind built during the first half of the 19th century. Its prominent twin minarets and distinctive silhouette make it the most recognizable mosque in Cairo. The mosque was erected as a tribute to Tusun Pasha, the eldest son of Muhammad Ali, who passed away in 1816.
