Sinan Pasha Mosque (Cairo)
The Sinan Pasha Mosque is a mosque in the Cairo district of Bulaq. It was established by the governor of Cairo Koca Sinan Pasha around 1571.
When the mosque was built the site was on the Nile shore which has since shifted westward. The mosque's architecture combines Mamluk and Ottoman features. The last include its free-standing position in a garden and the gallery surrounding it on three sides roofed with shallow domes.
The interior is influenced by the Fadawiya Mausoleum.
The mosque was once part of a wikala complex. Its hamam still exists.
