| This Muslim madrassa (school) building was built together with the tomb adjoining it by the emir Tashtamer in 1382. The emir was exiled to Jerusalem, ending a successful career. The building's facade is richly decorated in the typical Mameluke style: a window with a grille opening on the street, a decorated inscription above it, a geometric interlace around the inscription, a deep-set entrance, and two stone seats flanking the entrance. A particularly beautiful element is the shell-shaped decoration above the cistern next to the entrance. |
