Saint Elias Cathedral, Maronite cathedral in Jdeydeh quarter, Aleppo, Syria.
The cathedral features two belfries at its facade with a marble entrance adorned by yellow columns beneath a high central dome.
Built in 1873 to replace a smaller 15th-century Maronite church, the cathedral underwent major renovations in 1914 introducing concrete construction to Aleppo.
The cathedral reopened in July 2020 after sustaining damage during conflict, representing endurance of religious heritage in the Christian quarter.
Regular religious services take place at the cathedral, located at 36.2071°N and 37.1558°E, with a clock tower playing Ave Maria every fifteen minutes.
The square in front of the cathedral contains a 1932 statue of Archbishop Germanos Farhat, commemorating his work establishing the Maronite library.
