Ruins of the Mosque of Sultan Baybars

View of the Mosque of Sultan Bibars

Chromolithograph of a mosque built by Sultan Baybars (d. 1277) of Egypt. Baybars, one of the great Mamluk sultans, was likely a Kipchak Turk born in the Pontic steppe. He maintained close diplomatic ties with the Kipchak Khanate (also known as the Golden Horde), which controlled Crimea from the late thirteenth century to the mid fifteenth century, and commissioned the building of this mosque in Solhat (as Eski Krym was then known).
