The Salimiyya Takiyya (Arabic: التكية السليمية, romanized: at-Takiyya as-Salīmiyya) is a takiyya (Ottoman-era Arabic name for a mosque complex which served as a Sufi convent) in as-Salihiyya, Damascus.
The complex was built over and in the surroundings of Ibn Arabi's tomb in 924/1518 by the Ottoman sultan Selim I upon his return from the conquest of Egypt.[2] The Salimiyya Takiyya is considered to have been "the first Ottoman building in Syria".[3] However, its construction is considered to have followed "a local architectural idiom",[4] which was "neither Mamluk, nor Ottoman"[5] (unlike the later Sulaymaniyya Takiyya, which marked the introduction of the Ottoman architectural style to Damascus[6]).[c]
The Salimiyya Takiyya consists of a mosque (Ibn Arabi Mosque) and an imaret facing it.
