The Al-Attar Mosque (Arabic: مسجد العطار) is a congregational mosque (jāmiʿ) in the Old City of Tripoli, Lebanon built around 1350 A.D during the Mamluk Era.[1] The mosque is widely noted for its unusual layout, its interior bears no resemblance to any other known mosque types,[2] and for its square-shaped minaret, an integral part of the skyline of Tripoli[3] and the tallest Mamluk Era minaret in the city.[4] Today it is the site of ongoing archaeological excavations, while still functioning as an active place of worship[5] for the Sunni Muslim population[6] and as a tourist destination.[7]
