The Mansouri Great Mosque (also known as the Grand Mansouri Mosque, Great Mosque of Tripoli; Arabic: المسجد المنصوري الكبير) is a mosque in Tripoli, Lebanon.^[1] It was built in the Mamluk period, from 1294 to 1298.^[2] This was the first building to be erected in Mamluk Tripoli.^[3] The Grand Mansouri Mosque was built on the ruins of an earlier Crusader church. The current minaret tower was probably part of the Church of St. Mary, possibly with Lombard elements. The mosque's main entrance also appears to incorporate a former Crusader church gate. The rest of the mosque, however, is a Muslim creation dating from after the Mamluk conquest of the city.^[4] The Grand Mansouri Mosque is one of the most important historical landmarks of Mamluk-era Tripoli.^[3]
