The Sulaymaniyya Takiyya in Damascus, Syria, is an Ottoman-era architectural complex that includes a mosque, a madrasa (Islamic school), and other facilities. Constructed in the mid-16th century under the commission of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the complex was designed by the renowned Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan. It exemplifies classical Ottoman architecture with its grand domes, elegant minarets, and intricate tile work. The Takiyya served not only as a religious and educational center but also as a place of lodging for travelers and pilgrims.
