This is the mosque of Sinan Paşa (Jamia al-Sinaniye). This is not the Sinan who was the famous Ottoman architect, but a governor of Damascus. The mosque dates from 1591, and originally the complex contained also a hammam, a school and market. It has a green-enamelled minaret. The monumental entrance has fine tiles in a style that reminded me of Turkish “Iznik” but was made locally.
The courtyard. I'm in front of the main entrance, but there is a fine one (from the souq) to the left.
