Adliye Mosque
The Adliye Mosque or Dukaginzâde Mehmet Pascha Mosque ( Turkish Dukaginzâde Mehmet Paşa Camii , Arabic جامع العادلية) is an Ottoman mosque complex (külliye) in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo and next to the Chusrawiyya mosque, which was destroyed in 2014, one of the oldest Ottoman mosques in the city.
The Adliye Mosque is located west of the citadel of Aleppo at the southern entrance of the covered market ( souq ) in the al-Jallum district of the old town. It was built from 1551 to 1557 under the Ottoman Sultan Suleyman I by the local governor Dukaginzâde Mehmet Pascha, who was of Albanian descent and descended from the Balkan tribe of the Dukagjini (hence the Turkish name Dukaginzâde ); the date of his death is on the front door.
As part of the Adliye complex, a courtyard with a cleaning well ( Schadirwan ) , three caravanserais and four markets with a market hall ( Besisten ) were built, which together have a total of 150 shops and guest rooms.
The mosque itself is a domed building with a large prayer hall and a vestibule ( son cemaat yeri ) , which is covered by several small domes. The minaret of the Adliye Mosque has a decorated scissors (balcony) and a typical Turkish pencil tip . Hadiths are written above the tiled windows . The tiles are believed to be imported İznik ceramics .
