Al-Salih Tala’i Mosque

Built in 1160 AD by the Fatimid vizier Tala’i ibn Ruzzik, this mosque is known as the last major mosque of the Fatimid era. Located in Bab Zuwayla, Darb al-Ahmar, it is famously called the "Suspended Mosque" because it stands about 4 meters above street level, with shops underneath whose revenue helps fund the mosque. It features a large courtyard, vaulted arched galleries, marble columns, and distinctive brick and stone architecture with a Kufic inscription on its northern façade.
