 The Fatimid buildings have gone through many renovations and restructurings in different styles from the early Mamluk period to modern times . The Fakahani Mosque exemplifies this process . It was built in the Fatimid period , either as a suspended mosque ( one with shops underneath it ) or with a high basement . After the earthquake of 1302 it was rebuilt . In 1440 an ablution basin was added , and early in the Ottoman period a minaret was built . The amir Ahmad Katkhuda Mustahfazan al @-@ Kharbutli in 1735 ordered a major reconstruction , almost all of the original building being replaced apart from two doors . These finely carved doors were registered as a historical monument in 1908 by the committee of conservation , and the building itself was registered in 1937 .
