Madrasa of Amir Sunqur Sa'di

The Madrasa of Amir Sunqur Sa'di (Arabic: مدرسة سنقر السعدي), also commonly known as the Mausoleum of (Sheikh) Hasan Sadaqa, is a former madrasa, mausoleum, and takiyya, located in the Al-Darb al-Ahmar neighbourhood of Islamic Cairo, Egypt. The medieval structure was built by amir Sunqur Sa'di between 1315 and 1321 CE, during the Mamluk era. Sunqur was forced to leave Egypt and was never buried there, but sheikh Hasan Sadaqa was later buried in the mausoleum, and therefore the building is often known by his name. From the 17th century the complex was converted into Mevlevi Sufi lodge (a takiyya, or more specifically a mawlawiyya). The structure no longer operates for religious worship purposes and, in 1988, was converted into the Mawlawiyya Museum, also known as the Museo Mevlevi, an Islamic religious history museum.
