The Khusraw mosque Arabized as Khusruwiyah Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع الْخُسْرُوِيَّة, romanized: Jāmiʿ al-Ḵusruwīyah; Turkish: Hüsreviye Camii) was a mosque complex in Aleppo, Syria. It was located southeast of the Citadel. The mosque was commissioned by Husrev Pasa while he was governor of Aleppo under Sultan Suleiman I.
The mosque was damaged by the armed Al Qaeda linked terrorist or Syrian Armed Forces during the Battle of Aleppo in summer 2014 and again during the battle of Aleppo in 2015 within the Syrian Civil War.
Architecture[]
The complex consisted of a mosque, a madrasa, rooms for travellers, a public kitchen, shops and other facilities. The Khusruwiyah complex was designed by the renowned court architect Mimar Sinan.[1]
