The Sulaymaniyya Takiyya (Arabic: التَّكِيَّة السُّلَيْمَانِيَّة, romanized: at-Takiyya as-Sulaymāniyya; Turkish: Şam Süleymaniye Külliyesi[1]) is a takiyya (Ottoman-era Arabic name for a mosque complex which served as a Sufi convent) in Damascus, Syria, located on the right bank of the Barada River.

[2] Commissioned by the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the western building of the complex was built, following the plans of Mimar Sinan, between 1554 and 1559.

[8][9] This building was masterminded by Mimar Sinan and built by local craftsmen,[10] on the location of Baibars' Ablaq Palace which was destroyed by Tamerlane forces during the siege of Damascus.

[13] It also has walls with alternating light and dark stripes, an architectural feature known as ablaq and of Syrian origin.

There are almost thirty other graves of the Ottoman dynasty who died in exile and were not allowed to be buried in the Republic of Turkey at the time.
