Date	1070 AH / 1660 AD
Notes	This mosque, which was built for the Hanafi school of thought, was built in 1070 AH / 1660 AD on the site of the Abu Anan Madrasah. At a lower level on the seashore, there were the small mosque called the Fishermen’s Mosque (Al-Hawatin Mosque) and Bab Al-Bahr. The central dome is oval in shape, and its height at its peak from the inside is 24 meters, and is supported on four supports by a crane neck and four corner triangles. At the four corners and outside the space covered by the dome, four square spaces are arranged, covered by four octagonal domes. Between these square spaces are three spaces, each covered by a semi-cylindrical vault. The fourth area facing the qibla wall was covered with a dome standing on three bays, and supported on both sides by two porticos covered by one of the octagonal domes and a ceiling in the shape of a pointed arch. The extension of the semi-cylindrical vault facing the qibla, at its intersection with the other three domes, forms a cross-shaped design, which led to the emergence of the legend of the Christian engineer who imprinted the mosque with the symbol of his faith.
