Mosque of Ahmad Ibn Tulun

Information

The effect of the Great Mosque of Samarra is evident in the minaret. built in the western ziyada, seen most obviously in the fact that the staircase winds itself around the outside body of the minaret and not within the interior, as is typical of most mosques in the Islamic world. This plan is identical to the minaret of the Great Mosque of Samarra, known for its spiraled shape.
