The Rumi Mosque is a Mamluk mosque of old Aleppo founded by the emir Manklibugha al-Shamsi, known as al-Rumi, in the fourteenth century. Local tradition holds that a Roman temple once stood on the site. The mosque lies south of the citadel in the old quarters near Bab Qinnasrin, and it remains a working neighbourhood mosque.
