Historic Cairo Architectural Mapping: Descriptive Catalogue

Contents note: This catalogue provides information and historical background about each individual monument, organized by number.
Statement of Responsibility: Scattered across what is termed “Historic Cairo” are countless buildings and monuments with a long, rich history. Under the auspices of the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE), Dr. Nicholas Warner completed the survey and documentation of 400 of these monuments in the 1990s, as well as the production of 31 map sheets depicting their locations within and relationship to urban Cairo. The Historic Cairo Architectural Mapping (HCAM) project was made possible with the support of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (formerly the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities).
