Church of the Dormition of Our Lady, Greek Orthodox shrine in Jdeydeh quarter, Aleppo, Syria.

The stone church features a single dome design with a prominent belfry that stands as a visual reference point within the neighborhood.

The church underwent major renovations between 1850 and 1852 following damage sustained during the Aleppo massacre that targeted the Christian population.

The interior contains numerous valuable icons from the Aleppine school, representing centuries of Orthodox Christian artistic traditions in the region.

The church maintains regular services while restoration work continues to address damage from the 2015 Battle of Aleppo.

An Armenian manuscript by Movses Vardapet documents renovations from 1499 to 1500, funded by Armenian elite Reyis Baron Yesayi.
