The Murad Pasha Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع مُرَاد بَاشَا, romanized: Jāmiʿ Murād Bāšā; Turkish: Murat Paşa Camii) is an early Ottoman-era mosque and mausoleum in Damascus, Syria, located in the Suwayqa sector of the Al-Midan quarter. The mosque was erected and named after Murad Pasha, who served as the Ottoman governor ("wali") of Damascus between 1568-1569. The mosque was built in 1568.[1] The mosque is also known as the Naqshbandi Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع النَّقْشَبَنْدِي, romanized: Jāmiʿ an-Naqšabandī) after the Naqshbandi sufi order which it served as a center for.[2]
