Jerusalem's Mamluk Revival Under Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad

When the Mamluks took Jerusalem back from the Crusaders, they didn't just leave it a garrison town. Under Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad and his governor Tankiz, the city saw a building boom that reshaped its skyline. This episode follows the restoration of the Dome of the Rock, the construction of the Tankiziyya madrasa, and the water systems that made it all possible. We explore Mamluk patronage, the ablaq architectural style, and how the city became a center of Islamic learning and pilgrimage. Along the way, we meet the historian al-Umari and the Sufi sheikhs who made Jerusalem their home. For those who love the deep layers of the Holy City, this is the Mamluk century you haven't heard.
