MOSQUE OF SULTAN ABDEL MAJID

The Ottoman-era mosque is thought to have been built on the site of an older mosque. The structure dates from 1648 and was renovated in 1783 by Emir Youssef Chéhab, yet it carries the name of the 19th century Ottoman Sultan Abdel Majid. The Mosque is located within the mediaeval city walls, just outside the archaeological site.
