The Khusraw mosque Arabized as Khusruwiyah Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع الْخُسْرُوِيَّة, romanizedJāmiʿ al-Ḵusruwīyah; Turkish: 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]
