Mamluk architecture

Mamluk architecture refers to the distinctive design style developed in Egypt and the Levant during the Mamluk Sultanate (1250-1517). It is characterized by grand structures such as mosques, schools, and monuments featuring intricate stone carvings, elaborate tile work, and monumental arches. This style often incorporates elements from Persian and Byzantine architecture, emphasizing large domes and tall minarets.
