The last Persian-inspired Fatimid mosque with a bronze door on display in the Museum of Islamic Art.

It was in 1160 that the vizier Saleh Talai undertook to build a Persian-inspired mosque outside the walls. It is high and its lower part was home to shops whose rent was used to finance the maintenance of the buildings. The external façades are interesting, especially the main entrance with an outdoor terrace with an admirable wooden coffered ceiling. Its bronze door is on display in the Museum of Islamic Art; a rather mediocre copy replaces it. It is the last Fatimid mosque to be built.
