Al-Tawashi Mosque, Mamluk mosque in Aleppo, Syria
The Al-Tawashi Mosque features intricate stone carvings, detailed muqarnas decorations on the entrance portal, and marble inlays throughout its structure.
Built in 1348 during the Mamluk Sultanate period, this mosque emerged when former slave soldiers gained control over Egypt and the Levant region.
The mosque integrates geometric patterns and architectural elements that represent the artistic traditions developed during the Mamluk period in Syria.
Located within the old city of Aleppo, the mosque maintains its function as a religious center despite the structural challenges from recent conflicts.
The entrance portal exhibits specific decorative elements that combine local Syrian stonework techniques with broader Mamluk architectural principles.
