The Yalbugha Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع يَلْبُغَا, romanized: Jāmi‘ Yalbuḡā) was a 13th-century mosque on the Barada river in Damascus, Syria. It was built by the Mamluks in 1264 CE[1] or by Yalbughā al-Yahyāwī in 1346–47 CE.[2] During the reign of Ibrahim Pasha (1832–1840) it was converted to use as a biscuit factory.[3]
The former mosque was demolished in 1974 to make way for a redevelopment and a modern mosque completed on the site, that was opened on 27 October 2014.[4][5]
