Islamic architecture, arts and decorations are displayed through dozens of mosques and other historical buildings in the old parts of Tripoli.
The Mameluke mosque of Taynal is the crown jewel of the Islamic architecture in the city, and in Lebanon at large.
Built about 700 years ago, Taynal displays unique beauty, magnificence rarely to be found in any of the many mosques built in Lebanon during the Mameluke or the Ottoman eras. (end) wsm.am.msa
