The Khusraw mosque Arabized as Khusruwiyah Mosque (ar|جَامِع الْخُسْرُوِيَّة|Jāmiʿ al-Ḵusruwīyah; tr|Hüsreviye Camii) was a mosque complex in Aleppo, Syria. It was located southeast of the Citadel. The mosque was commissioned by Husrev Pasha while he was governor of Aleppo under Sultan Suleiman I.[1]
The mosque, which was left neglected during the Syrian Civil War was completely destroyed during the Battle of Aleppo in August 2014 with dynamites.[2]
The complex consisted of a mosque, a madrasa, rooms for travellers, a public kitchen, shops and other facilities. The Khusruwiyah complex was designed by the renowned court architect Mimar Sinan.[3]
