The Ahmed Yahya Pasha Mosque was built in the Zizinya area of Alexandria in 1920 by businessman and politician Ahmed Yahya Pasha, who was one of the leading cotton merchants and the landowner of the surrounding area. The Italian architect Mario Rosi was commissioned to design it and furnish it with the finest furniture and windows made from imported Murano glass, and it features one of the most beautiful Murano chandeliers in Egypt. The mosque is considered one of the most important in Alexandria and stands as a testament to a history of wealth and piety. Its founder donated funds to establish a Quran memorization school behind it. He was also active in politics and a member of the Shura Council. Ahmed Yahya Pasha died while performing pilgrimage and was buried in Mecca. However, he designated a family mausoleum inside the mosque, which has continued to be an important historical and religious symbol in the city to this day.
