Great Mosque of Aleppo, Umayyad mosque in Aleppo, Syria
The mosque spans 105 meters from east to west and 77 meters from north to south, with a spacious courtyard featuring geometric patterns and stone decorations.
Built in 715 CE under Umayyad Caliph al-Walid I, the mosque underwent modifications during the Mamluk period and contained a 45-meter minaret until its destruction in 2013.
The mosque functions as both a religious center and an educational institution, containing manuscripts, traditional schools, and spaces for community gatherings.
Prayer times vary throughout the year, and visitors must remove shoes, dress modestly, and follow specific guidelines when entering the prayer halls.
The building contains what believers consider to be remains of Prophet Zakariya, making it a significant pilgrimage location for Muslims worldwide.
