Cathedral of Elijah the Prophet, Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Jdeydeh quarter, Aleppo, Syria.
The Cathedral of Elijah the Prophet features two tall towers on its facade and stands crowned with a central dome above its brick structure.
The cathedral received its consecration on December 17, 2000, replacing the Church of the Dormition of Our Lady as the primary Greek Orthodox cathedral in Aleppo.
The cathedral functions as the headquarters of the Greek Orthodox Prelacy under the Diocese of Aleppo, serving the Orthodox Christian population in northern Syria.
Located at coordinates 36°13′01″N and 37°09′16″E, the cathedral maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors to its grounds throughout the week.
In 2013, the cathedral's Archbishop Paul Yazigi was taken by armed groups, leading to a period without leadership until Bishop Ephraim Maalouli's appointment in 2021.
