Courtyard of the Great Mosque of Aleppo in 2016, during the Syrian Civil War
Title
Courtyard of the Great Mosque of Aleppo in 2016, during the Syrian Civil War
Description
Both the Great Mosque of Aleppo and the Great Mosque of Damascus were built in the same year: 715 CE. The structure in Damascus has been largely spared during the Syrian Civil War, but the same cannot be said for Aleppo. The structure there has suffered severe damage, particularly between 2012 and 2013, and the destruction is still visible in this photograph from December 2016.
