The Great Mosque Of Aleppo

The Great Mosque of Aleppo (Arabic: جَامِع حَلَب ٱلْكَبِيْر, romanized: Jāmiʿ Ḥalab al-Kabīr), also known as the Great Umayyad Mosque of Aleppo (Arabic: ٱلْجَامِع ٱلْأُمَوِي ٱلْكَبِيْر فِي حَلَب, romanized: Al-Jāmiʿ al-Umawī al-Kabīr fī Ḥalab), was the largest and one of the oldest mosques in the city of Aleppo, Syria built by the Umayyad Caliphate. The former mosque, now in partial ruins, is located in the al-Jalloum district of the Ancient City of Aleppo, a World Heritage Site, near the entrance to Al-Madina Souq. The mosque was purportedly home to the remains of Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, both of whom are revered in Islam and Christianity. It was built in the beginning of the 8th century CE by the Muslim Arabs; and the current building dates from the 11th through 14th centuries. The minaret in the mosque, built in 1090, was destroyed during fighting in the Syrian Civil War in April 2013. Between 2012 and 2016, the structure of the mosque sustained significant damage, including the collapse of parts of its walls, the burning of its prayer hall, and the loss of priceless historical artefacts. Work commenced in c. 2017 to restore the mosque and its minaret. The West Asia Post reported in 2024 that the mosque had been partially reopened; although other reports in late 2024 claimed that the mosque was still undergoing repairs.
