Al-Otrush Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع الْأُطْرُوش, romanized: Jāmiʿ al-ʾUṭrūš) also known as Demirdash Mosque, is a mosque in the Syrian city of Aleppo, located at the south of the Citadel, in "al-A'jam" district of the Ancient City, few meters away from Al-Sultaniyah Madrasa. Construction of the mosque was initiated in 1393 by the Mamluk ruler of Aleppo Aqbogha al-Otrush. However, he died five years later and the mosque was completed by his successor Demirdash al-Nasiri in 1408.[1]
The mosque is famous for its decorated façade and its entrance which is topped with traditional oriental motifs and Islamic muqarnas. The minaret of the mosque located to the left of the main entrance, has a round octangular shape.[2]
The mosque was renovated in 1922.
