Lonely Planet review for Burtasiya Mosque and Madrassa

The Burtasiya Mosque and Madrassa is situated by the river, across the street from the eastern entrance to the Khan al-Khayyatin (Tailors' Market). Built by the Kurdish prince Sharafeddin Issa ben Omar al-Burtasi in 1315, its square, towerlike minaret and black-and-white stonework are particularly fine. Inside, the intricately decorated and inlaid mihrab makes the visit worthwhile. Look for the mosaic in its half-dome.
