Madrasa Khanqah of Sultan al-Zahir Barquq

Madrasa Khanqah of Sultan al-Zahir Barquq located  at Nahhasin on the street called Al-Muaizz in Islamic Cairo,  The architect Shihab al Din Ahmad ibn Muhammad al Tuluni, who belonged to a family of court architects and surveyors, was in charge of part of the construction. The name of Jarkas al Khalili, the master of Barquq's horse and the founder of the famous Khan al Khalili, appears in the inauguration inscription on the facade and in the courtyard.
The foundation established for this complex endowed a Madrasa teaching the four rites, a Friday mosque and a mausoleum, but unlike Sultan Hasan's madrasa, it was also a Khanqah for Sufis. This was a relatively large foundation, which housed as many as one hundred and twenty-five theology students and sixty Sufis, with living quarters for the teachers and stables for their horses.
 The facade is paneled with recesses surmounted by stalactites. The upper windows have pointed arches as well as wooden grills. This is a style that can be seen in several mosques of the Bahri Mamluk period, including that of Aydumur al-Bahlawan (1346) and Ulmas (1329/1330). A tiraz band runs along the facade
