Altun Bogha Mosque, Mamluk mosque in Aleppo, Syria.
The Altun Bogha Mosque features stone carvings, muqarnas decorations, and a central dome with geometric patterns on its interior surface.
Built in 1318 by Circassian ruler Alaaddin Altun Bogha al-Nasiri during the Mamluk period, the mosque replaced an earlier structure called al-Midan al-Aswad.
Located near a former salt warehouse, the mosque earned its alternative name, Sahat al-Milh Mosque, reflecting its connection to local trade activities.
The mosque stands east of the Citadel of Aleppo at coordinates 36°11'48"N 37°10'00"E, making it accessible from the old city center.
The interior of the mosque contains traditional Islamic muqarnas designs that underwent preservation work in 1921 to maintain their structural integrity.
