Khusruwiyah Mosque

The Khusruwiyah Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع الْخُسْرُوِيَّة, romanizedJāmiʿ al-Ḵusruwīyah), also known as the Khusraw Mosque, was a mosque complex in Aleppo, Syria. It was located southeast of the Citadel, in the Ancient City of Aleppo, a World Heritage Site. The mosque was commissioned by Husrev Pasha while he was governor of Aleppo under Sultan Suleiman I.

The mosque, which was left neglected during the Syrian Civil War was completely destroyed during the Battle of Aleppo in August 2014 with dynamites.

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.
