Great Mosque of Sarmin
Syria
The Great Mosque of Sarmin (Arabic: , romanized: Jami' al-Kabir (Sarmin)), also called the Old Mosque of Sarmin and the Mosque of Idlib Sarmin, is a former mosque that was located in Sarmin, in the Idlib Governorate of Syria. Believed to have been completed prior to 657 AH (1258/1259 CE), the mosque was significantly damaged on 4 October 2023, during the Syrian civil war.
One of the most distinct architectural features of the mosque was the nine domes over its prayer hall. According to inscriptions, the mosque was renovated in 660 AH (1261/1262 CE) and possibly restored in 705 AH (1305/1306 CE). The mosque's plan is centered on a large, rectangular sahn bordered by arcades and a prayer hall on the southern qibla. The prayer hall is shallow. The qibla aisle is divided into nine bays, each one covered by a small dome.
