The Mu'allaq Mosque (ar|المسجد المعلق) is a mosque, located in Tripoli, in the North Governorate of Lebanon.
It was commissioned by the Ottoman governor of Tripoli Mahmud Lutfi al-Za'im and constructed in 1559[1] [2] in the early time of Ottoman Syria under Suleiman the Magnificent. Its name means "hanging mosque" originating in the location of the mosque in the first floor of a structure partly roofing a street.[3] Steps lead up to the entrance of the mosque. Above the door, a foundation inscription on stone is installed mentioning the completion of the mosque in Rabi' al-Awwal of AH 969 (November/December 1561). The inscription reads:[4]
The mosque has an octagonal minaret that is decorated by two bands of black stone. The minaret is crowned by two levels having a balcony each, the eight windows of the lower balcony are roofed by pointed arches. Next to the mosque, there is a garden that can be reached by steps.
