It was the center of the city through successive eras until Mamluk times, and lay on a flat promontory that jutted into the sea from the fertile coastal plain, forming a harbor on its northern side.
Above its door is one of the city’s most elegant facades, which incorporates Qur’anic inscription, a joggled marble relieving arch, a marquetry panel of dramatic fluidity, ablaq (alternative courses of fl and white stone) and a muqarnas half-dome.
The Qaratay Madrasa, built next to the Great Mosque between 1316 and 1326 by the governor of Tripoli, makes exquisite use of marble marquetry, especially in the square plaque above the main door, where interlacing bands of polychrome marble form four loops about a central, circular window.

As to the date of its construction, we know that Qaratay died at the end of the first year of his second term and was buried in his madrasah; so we at least know that the building was erected before 1333.
The blazon is undoubtedly that of Qaratay, so we can assume that the vaulting is contemporary with the madrasah.
Qaratay must have had the madrasah built with a facade on the street and another with windows, on the passage leading to the mosque.
