The minaret has a square base, octagonal drum, and cylindrical shaft ornamented with zig-zag friezes and blind arches. It dates to late 14th cent. AD (8th H) and was not constructed as part of the original mosque. The minaret was reconstruncted in 1946. (see also: archnet.org) The minaret had suffered severe damage during the conflict in Aleppo (2012-2016) and eventually collapsed.
