The Waqf of Ibshir Mustafa Pasha (AR: وقف ابشير باشا) is a sizeable 17th Century endowment complex built by wazir Ipshir Mustafa Pasha in 1652 who was then governor of Aleppo.

Background

The Ibshir Mustafa Pasha Waqf complex is one of a number of notable historic structures built in 17th Century Aleppo.[1] The complex included a khan, three qaysariyya, textile looms and dye workshop, a souk, bread ovens, a sebil and a coffee-house noted for its fine decorations.[2][3] The Bahram Pasha waqf hammam's lies in an adjacent building. They provided a shared 'public' space and commercial opportunity for local Christian and Muslim inhabitants and led to the neighbourhood of Al-Jdayde to become a second economic centre of the city.[4]

Recent developments

The complex suffered damage from street fighting and intermittent shelling throughout Syria's civil war. In particular, a series of underground explosions that occurred in April 2015 devastated the building and surrounding area.[5][6][7] The Waqf complex is listed as one of 25 most significant restoration sites proposed for the Old City of Aleppo.[8]
