Kirche St. Georg, Orthodox church in old city, Aleppo, Syria
The St. George Church features stone walls, arched entrances, and a central dome supported by eight columns in a traditional Byzantine architectural style.
The church began as a place of worship in 1836 in the Shraasous district before relocating to the Sulaymaniyah neighborhood in 1969.
The church maintains Melkite Catholic traditions through regular services and remains a central gathering point for the Christian community in Aleppo.
The building includes a marble iconostasis decorated with red, black, and yellow mosaic pieces, designed by local engineers.
During the Ottoman period, soldiers temporarily occupied the church but left after reporting mysterious sounds of horse hooves on the roof.
