Overview
Qaytbay’s educational foundation, distinguished by an elaborate stone entrance. [1]
Al-Ashrafiyya projects from the western boundary into the sanctuary. Its entrance combines red and white stone, carved decoration and a vaulted recess. Above, the historic plan arranged rooms and iwans around a courtyard. [1]
An inscription and endowment documents date Qaytbay’s rebuilding to 1482. Museum With No Frontiers distinguishes this from the earlier foundation of Sultan Khushqadam and notes damage to the upper storey in the 1927 earthquake. [1]
