The Khusrawiyya Mosque was an Ottoman-era mosque complex in Aleppo, Syria, built in 1547 under the commission of Husrev Pasha, governor of the city during the reign of Sultan Suleiman I. Designed by the renowned Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, it stood southeast of the Citadel within Aleppo's Ancient City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Serving as both a congregational mosque and educational institution, the building exemplified Ottoman architectural tradition. The structure fell into neglect during the Syrian Civil War and was completely destroyed by dynamite during the Battle of Aleppo in August 2014.
