This photograph shows the area around the Sultan Al-Ghuri Complex in Cairo. Built as a mausoleum and mosque between 1503 and 1506, one of its minarets is shown in the distance of this image. The complex was constructed for Qansuh II al-Ghawri of the Malmuk Empire. Not long after his death, the empire was conquered by the Ottomans.
