Mosquee Emir Munzer Tannoukhi

Emir Munzer Mosque is a mosque located in Beirut Central District, Lebanon. This mosque was constructed by Emir Munzer Al-Tannoukhi. The mosque was also known as Masjid Al-Naoufara because of the fountain in its courtyard. The mosque has two entrances: the original 17th century arch portal from Souk Al-Bazarkhan, and a second entrance with three arches, added when the adjacent building was demolished to make way for the new Emir Fakhreddine Street. Roman granite columns were re-used in the construction of the mosque’s courtyard. In 1749, the brothers Emir Melhem and Emir Mansour Haydar Al-Shehab restored the building. Partly damaged during the Civil War, the mosque was restored in 2002.
