Aleppo – al-Othamaniyeh Mosque حلب – جامع العثمانية
al-Othamaniyeh Mosque (جامع العثمانية), also a religious school, was built in the 1730s by Pasha al-Duraki. It has one of the tallest minarets in the city of Aleppo (حلب), constructed in the traditional Ottoman style. It is centered on a large courtyard with a fountain and two small garden plots. The mosque, on the southern side of the courtyard, is preceded by a three-domed portico and flanked by two iwans. The complex was an active institution for religious studies in the eighteenth century, and forty-two student rooms line the other three sides of the courtyard.
