The Al-Burtasi Mosque (Arabic: مسجد البرطاسي) is a mosque, located in Tripoli, in the Northern Governorate of Lebanon. The Burtasi mosque is considered[citation needed] one of the most beautiful Mamluk mosques in Tripoli. It is distinguished by its minaret and by its dark stone front decorated by black lines and white ornamentation.[1][2]: 62ff
History
[edit]The inscription on the main gate does not provide the date of its construction, but it is inferred that the mosque was constructed before 1381.[1]
The minaret and three domes are distinguishing features of the mosque.[1]: 39
The qibla wall is lined with marble, with the mihrab in the center. The mihrab is decorated with glass mosaic, which is rare for mosques in Tripoli.[1] In front of a golden background, a goblet is shown that holds green acanthus.[2]: 61
