Al-Shuaibiyah Mosque, Religious monument near Gate of Antioch, Aleppo, Syria.

The Al-Shuaibiyah Mosque features a rectangular minaret, stone portico with Quranic inscriptions, and geometric patterns formed by joggled voussoirs on its entrance.

Originally built in 637 AD during the Arab conquest, the mosque underwent major renovations in 1150 when Nur al-Din transformed it into a Shafi'i madrasa.

The prayer hall contains two rows of six cross vaults supported by monolithic columns with Corinthian capitals, reflecting the fusion of Roman and Islamic architecture.

The mosque maintains regular prayer services and stands at coordinates 36.19875 latitude and 37.1522 longitude, inside the western section of Ancient Aleppo.

The structure incorporates elements from an ancient Roman triumphal arch, with inscriptions identifying Sa'id al-Maqdisi ibn Abda-Allah as its architect.
