From Wikipedia
The funerary complex of Sultan Qaytbay, is an Islamic religious funerary complex located in the Northern Cemetery of Cairo, Egypt. Built by the Mamluk sultan al-Ashraf Qaytbay between 1470 and 1474, the complex consists of a mosque (originally a madrasa) attached to Qaytbay's mausoleum, along with residential structures, a drinking trough for animals, and a smaller tomb. The complex is considered one of the most beautiful and accomplished monuments of late Mamluk architecture and it is pictured on the E£1 banknote.
