Introduction to Aleppo - Azizieh Quarter
One of the most modern neighbourhoods in the ancient city of Aleppo, Syria, is the architectural delight of the Azizieh Quarter. All Azizieh Quarter hotels are located either on or near the city's best known shopping district, Al-Telal Street. This neighbourhood is also only a 15-minute drive away from Aleppo International Airport and just a five-minute walk from the far older Christian quarter, known as Jdeydeh and first established after the Mongol withdrawal from the city in the early 15th century. None of the many churches in this district may be more impressive than the Latin Church, which features two high towers, elaborate French style architecture, and a stunning interior. A high dome tops the 1873 St Elias Maronite Cathedral, whose two towers play the hymn Ave Maria every 15 minutes. An Armenian genocide memorial stands near the front of the 15th century 40 Martyrs Armenian Church, whose interior has been redecorated into a more contemporary Armenian style.other spellings: azizieh quarterhotels, azezieh quarter otel, asizieh quarter hotell, azisieh quarter hote
