The Tawashi Mosque is a Mamluk mosque in the al-Qasilah quarter of old Aleppo, near Bab al-Nayrab and a short walk from the Citadel. It was founded by Safi al-Din Jawhar al-Tawashi and renovated in 944 AH (1537). Its façade has richly decorated windows and columns, and its doorway is crowned with stone stalactite carving above a foundation inscription. It has reopened for prayer after a long closure.
