Al-Qaiqan Mosque, Ottoman mosque in al-Jalloum district, Aleppo, Syria.
The Al-Qaiqan Mosque stands within the western section of the Ancient City of Aleppo, near the entrance to Al-Madina Souq market.
The structure began as a Hittite temple in ancient times, with carved stones bearing Hittite inscriptions incorporated into the mosque's construction during the 12th century.
The mosque's southern wall features a stone block with Anatolian hieroglyphs mentioning Telipinu and Talmi-Šarruma, descendants of Šuppiluliuma I.
The mosque received extensive renovations in 1996 to accommodate modern worship requirements while maintaining its historical architectural elements.
Two ancient basalt columns frame the main entrance of the mosque, serving as physical reminders of the structure's transformation through different historical periods.
