Ancient mosque and water system found near Salah al-Din Castle
Joint Egyptian-French archaeological excavations around Salah Al-Din Castle have revealed new archaeological features, including an integrated water system from the Mamluk era and the remains of a historic mosque in the Arab El-Lisan and Hataba areas. The discoveries include two large wells connected to a network of aqueducts and stone bridges that supplied water to the castle, as well as service facilities such as stables and feed storage rooms, reflecting a high level of engineering planning and water resource management during the Mamluk period. It is believed that some of these structures date back to the reign of Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammad bin Qalaoun. These findings are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the urban history and the development of water networks in Cairo.
