Saadallah Al-Jabiri Square (Arabic: ساحة سعدالله الجابري, romanized: Sāḥat Saʿad Allāh al-Jābirī) is the central town square at the heart of the Syrian city of Aleppo. It is the most important square in the city, experiencing most of the celebrations and festivals in Aleppo.[1] The square is named after former Prime Minister and statesman Saadallah al-Jabiri.
The square and its surrounding buildings have been heavily damaged during October 2012 Aleppo bombings.[2][3]
After several renovations to the square, an "I love Aleppo" monument was built near the martyrs' memorial and later revealed on 29 July 2017.[4]
