About Takiyya al-Sulaymaniyya

The beautiful Takiyya al-Sulaymaniyya, located on the banks of the Barada River was built between 1554 and 1560. The complex has a large mosque, a kitchen across the courtyard, a madrasa, and a souk adjacent to it. It is of great historic value and is considered one of the best examples of Ottoman architecture. The courtyards are beautifully landscaped with trees and have a central pool. The wide portico and massive prayer hall are not to be missed. After touring the mosque, take a walk in the old souk and experience the colourful surroundings, the ancient marketplace brimming with life.
