This mosque is one of the most beautiful mosques, like the rest of the mosques in the Al Qalaa neighborhood in the Caliph neighborhood, next to the Sultan Hassan Mosque and the Sidi Ahmed Al Rifa’i Mosque, and it is in front of the Sidi Ahmed Al Rifa’i Mosque. And the Ramah mosque has a dome over it, an extremely fine case, the beauty of the accuracy of engineering is magnificence, and the beautiful city is in some scenes that you see very few in the rest of the mosques of Egypt ,,, and the view of the mosque from the exit is likable to the Muslim man and non-Muslim, but from inside the spears Glory be to God, the division of the mosque is very very very very very different from Most of the mosques in Egypt have been given an architectural masterpiece outside and inside the mosque. Unfortunately, now it is closed by his words for years forgotten by the officials, and not for a while. I appeal to the Minister of Awqaf and the Minister of Antiquities and every person in charge of the mosques to take care of this mosque and open all the Egyptians and not Egyptians, especially Those who love antiquities and tourism from foreigners and Egyptians. Thank you Haj Salah El-Din Abdel Ghani from the people of the neighborhood in the castle.

يقع مسجد قانيباي الرماح أمام مسجد الرفاعى فى ميدان القلعة على ربوة عالية تواجه ميدان صلاح الدين يسار المتجهة إلى القلعة وفى مواجهة حديقة جامع المحمودية، ويرجع تاريخ المسجد إلى فترة حكم السلطان قايتباى، عام 908 هجرية، حيث أنشأه قانيباى الرماح أحد أمراء قايتباى في عصر المماليك الجركسية أو البرجية، والمسجد مغلق منذ فترة طويلة، حيث يعاني من الإهمال لدرجة سرقة بعض محتوياته، خاصة منبره الذي سرق قبل سنوات.
