The Khusraw mosque Arabized as Khusruwiyah Mosque (Arabic: جامع الخسروية) was a mosque complex in Aleppo, Syria. It was located southeast of the Citadel. The mosque was commissioned by Khusraw [Hüsrev] Pasha while he was governor of Aleppo under Sultan Suleiman I. It was designed by the renowned court architect Mimar Sinan.
The mosque was almost entirely destroyed by the armed opposition during the Battle of Aleppo in summer 2014.
The complex consisted of a mosque, a madrasa, rooms for travellers, a public kitchen, shops and other facilities.
