The Bahsita Mosque, known locally as Jami' Sita, is a Mamluk mosque of the fourteenth century in the Bahsita quarter of old Aleppo, built around 1350. It has been renewed over the years and is still a working mosque. The mosque stands in the north-western part of the old city, near the Bab al-Faraj clock tower and the Bab al-Nasr gate. Visitors describe it as a calm and well-kept place for prayer.
