Tawhid Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع التَّوْحِيد, romanized: Jāmiʿ at-Tawḥīd) is a contemporary mosque in Aleppo, Syria, located on Khalil al-Hindawi street, on the right bank of the Queiq River.[1] It was opened in 1981 and features a combined style of the early Islamic Abbasid architecture and modern mosques.
It has a large central dome surrounded with 4 smaller domes and 4 circular minarets. It is surrounded with two churches and a small park.
The mosque is notable for being built in a largely Christian-populated district of Aleppo.
