Abstract
Aleppo, as one of the oldest urban settlements, is the commercial, economic and
industrial capital of Syria, the neighbor of Turkey on its southern border. The city, where
important trade routes meet, is located in the north of the country. Aleppo has been a
trade center between east and west throughout its history. Aleppo, which has preserved
its character since the Stone Age, has been a center of attraction for communities even in
the Middle Bronze Age. Geographical location, religious attractiveness, social structure,
and climatic conditions were the main factors that enabled Aleppo to survive throughout
the centuries.
The most interesting part of the urban fabric in Aleppo is its traditional residential
architecture. When the urban residential fabric is examined in Aleppo, it is seen that it has
similarities to the climatic and social structure in Anatolia. The streets with organic texture
are surrounded by blind and high courtyard walls. The climate of the area, building
materials, traditions, social and cultural environment have their physical effects on the
residential architecture. The traditional residential architecture of Aleppo starting from
the Mesopotamian period has lasted as well through the Islamic Period.
