English: I was allowed to first climb up to its "whispering gallery" where indeed one can hear a whispered conversation verbatim across the wide space of the cupola, then on to the roof, from which one has a fine view of the citadel on one hand, and the setting sun at the other (at the right time of course). A space where the imam would wait between services was converted in a small internet café, visible when in the cupola. The tiles in the mosque are of the best period. In understand there are alternative names for this mosque, such as Adliye Camii, Dukaginzade Mehmed Pasha Mosque, Dukaginzade Mehmet Pasa Camii, Mosque al-Adeliye ('Adiliyya, al-'Adiliyya, Adiliya, al-Adiliya, 'Adiliya, al-'Adiliya)
The mosque was endowed by the Dukakinzade Mehmed Pasha in 1556. Dukakinzade Mehmed Pasha was the Albanian-Ottoman governor-general of Aleppo from 1551 until 1553 when he was appointed as governor-general of Egypt. He died in 1557 and the mosque was not completed until 1565-66 (AH 973).[1] It is considered to be one of the oldest mosques of the Ottoman period in Aleppo after the Khusruwiyah Mosque.
