Masjid Taynal

The Taynal Mosque is a historic Sunni mosque in Tripoli, in northern Lebanon. It stands at the southern entrance of the city, on the left bank of the Abu Ali (Kadisha) River, in an area of orchards near the Bab al-Raml cemetery. A work of Mamluk architecture, it has five green domes of differing sizes, and its minaret is described as wide enough for two people to climb and descend at the same time. After the Mansouri Great Mosque, it is regarded as one of the most important historic and religious monuments of Tripoli. Today it is also visited as a tourist site.

The mosque was built in the Mamluk period, in 736 AH (1336 CE), under Emir Sayf al-Din Taynal. Several historians and travellers wrote about it, among them Ibn Battuta, who visited the mosque during his travels and described it in his book.
