Saint Francis of Assisi Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Aleppo, Syria.
The Saint Francis of Assisi Cathedral stands with neoclassical columns and symmetrical proportions, featuring grand stone walls and traditional religious motifs.
The cathedral, consecrated in 1937, served as the main seat of the Apostolic Vicariate of Aleppo until 2011 when the Cathedral of Child Jesus took this role.
The cathedral functions as a central gathering point for Catholic worshippers in Aleppo, with regular services conducted by Franciscan administrators.
Visitors can access the cathedral through the main entrance on the western facade, where information about mass schedules and community events is displayed.
The building incorporates local Syrian construction techniques with European neoclassical architecture, creating a distinct fusion of regional and continental styles.
