Citadel of Cairo
the Residence of the Pasha

This striking view is taken from a ruined mosque near the city walls, and looking towards the rock of the Citadel, which stretches along the horizon......Between the observer and the hill of the Citadel lies the great necropolis of Cairo...The ruined mosque in the foreground is built in an angle of the city wall.
