Abstract

This mosque is considered to be one of the most important surviving Mamluk monuments in
Aleppo, it contains many elements that still remain from the time of its construction, including
the main façade, main entrance, minaret, open courtyard, and the main portico, etc. The
mosque was renewed many times in the Ottoman period and a lot of extensions were added
to it. This paper will study the mosque through a description and analytical study of its parts
and architectural elements, in addition to determining the accurate date of the construction
and highlight the renewal works that occurred, especially in the Ottoman period. All the
attached maps and figures (except Map no.1, Figs. 2 & 3) have been developed by the
author. Also, all the photographs have been taken by the researcher.
