Prince
Abdel-Rahman
Ktkhuda
was
one
of
the
greatest
sponsors
of
the
architectural
movement
during
the
Ottoman
era,
and
it
was
perhaps
the
most
active
in
the
history
of
Cairo
as
a
whole,
and
many
traces
bearing
his
name
and
his
works
increased
in
building
Al-Azhar,
which
is
almost
half
of
the
roofed
part
on
the
qiblah
side
alone
and
its
increase
is
higher
than
the
land
of
the
old
mosque
and
has
There
is
a
mihrab,
and
he
built
the
lighthouse
of
Al-Azhar,
which
is
in
the
southeastern
corner
of
Al-Azhar
at
the
door
of
Upper
Egypt,
which
is
to
the
right
of
the
interior,
and
to
the
left
of
the
tomb
of
Abdul-Rahman
as
a
line
that
the
lighthouse
overlooks.
Also,
it
is
suitable
for
many
scenes,
including
the
scene
of
Prince
Othman,
such
as
Takhadeh
Al-Qazdogali.
This
building
is
of
special
artistic
importance,
as
it
is
an
independent
group
that
contains
a
path
and
writers
in
which
many
of
the
masterpieces
of
Islamic
art
are
represented,
especially
in
the
Ottoman
era.
The
building
represents
the
style
of
the
three-way
avenues,
and
it
takes
the
form
in
which
the
Mamluk
and
Ottoman
styles
blend
together.
The
horizontal
projection
consists
of
a
path
topped
by
a
book
and
below
it
a
water
tank
that
connects
these
levels
with
an
inner
staircase.
The
Sabil
room
consists
of
a
square
area
containing
each
of
its
southeastern,
southwestern,
and
northwestern
sides.
Three
entries
are
located
by
each
entry
held
by
a
semi-circular
knot.
Each
mesh
entry
contains
a
casting
of
copper
casting
and
a
rectangular
marble
basin
window,
while
the
northeastern
side
contains
the
entrance
door
to
the
Sabil
room.
From
the
darkness
is
adjacent
to
a
wall-mounted
cupboard
above
a
window
that
overlooks
the
ladder
leading
to
the
book.
The
way
walls
are
covered
with
impressive
assemblies
of
Ottoman-style
ceramic
tiles
and
the
most
important
characteristic
of
them
is
that
they
include
a
ceramic
plate
representing
the
noble
Kaaba.
And
the
ceiling
of
the
sublimation
room
is
woody
with
colorful
motifs
consisting
of
stellar
dishes
and
their
parts,
and
is
based
on
the
stuccoed
and
mediterranean
cornice
that
is
not
extended.
As
for
the
book,
the
path
is
raised
above
the
path,
and
it
is
reached
from
the
ladder
in
front
of
the
darkness,
and
it
consists
of
a
square
area
for
each
of
its
southeastern
and
exotic
southern
and
northwestern
ribs.
The
book
has
a
wooden
ceiling
with
colorful
decorations.
Behind
the
three
stone
pavements,
there
is
a
corridor
with
a
wooden
ceiling
with
the
same
previous
decorations.
This
corridor
has
three
facades,
each
of
which
is
a
wooden
arcade
consisting
of
five
semicircular
arches
centered
on
wooden
columns.
Below
these
three
wooden
facades
is
a
veil
of
sculpted
wood
surmounted
by
a
row
of
lacquers.
