From Wikipedia
The Funerary complex of Sultan Barquq (Arabic: مجموعة الظاهر برقوق) is an Islamic religious complex in the historic district of Cairo, Egypt. The complex was commissioned by Sultan al-Zahir Barquq, the first sultan of the Burji line of Mamluk sultans. Its construction took place between 1384 and 1386.
The complex was designed as a mosque, a madrasa (college for religious education) teaching the four Islamic schools of thought, and as a khanqah (hospice for Sufis). Also attached to it is a domed mausoleum chamber which was intended to house the remains of the sultan, though Barquq was ultimately buried in another funerary complex. Along with the complex of Sultan Qalawun and the Madrasa of al-Nasir Muhammad, with which it is contiguous, the complex forms one of the greatest arrangements of Mamluk monumental architecture in Cairo, in a section of the historic al-Mu'izz street known as Bayn al-Qasrayn.
