The Umayyad Mosque in Aleppo, also known as the Great Mosque of Aleppo, is an architectural masterpiece dating back to the 8th century. It's renowned for its striking minaret, built in 1090, although it was sadly destroyed in recent conflicts. The mosque's courtyard is a harmonious blend of marble mosaics and ancient stonework, providing stunning photo opportunities, especially during the golden hour. Key features include the intricately decorated mihrab and the ornate, wooden minbar. The mosque is an active place of worship, so plan your visit to respect prayer times. Atmospheric shots can be captured through the interplay of light and shadow in the courtyard's arches and porticoes. Consider exploring nearby souks for authentic cultural context.
