Al-Sinjaqdar Mosque is a Mamluk-era mosque in the old city of Damascus, close to Suq al-Hamidiyyah and the area of the citadel. It is attributed to Arghun Shah al-Nasiri, who served as the Mamluk governor of Damascus in the fourteenth century. The mosque keeps elements of its medieval stonework, including its entrance and minaret, among the busy commercial streets. It is still used for daily prayers.
