Al-Jdayde, Historic Christian quarter in Aleppo, Syria.
A neighborhood of winding narrow alleys connects richly decorated mansions, traditional Armenian churches, and historic commercial buildings within the old city limits.
Following Tamerlane's invasion of Aleppo in 1400, Christian inhabitants established this quarter outside the city walls, developing it into a residential and commercial center.
The district features multiple religious structures around Farhat Square, including the Armenian Holy Forty Martyrs Church and several Orthodox places of worship.
Recent restoration projects focus on transforming historic buildings into museums, hotels, and cultural venues while preserving their architectural characteristics.
Two Muslim waqfs from the 16th and 17th centuries provided social services in this predominantly Christian area, demonstrating early religious cooperation.
