King Faisal Street
King Faisal Street (Arabic: شارع الملك فيصل) is a main street in central Aleppo, Syria. Located to the northwest of the Saadallah Al-Jabiri Square connecting the Aleppo Public Park with Al-Sabil Park.[1] The street ends up with Shihan Square to the north of the city centre.
History
King Faisal street was founded in 1919, to connect al-Jamiliyah district at the city centre with al-Sabil park, through the Syriac district. It was named in the honour of Faisal I the king of Syria.
In 1964, the Saint Matilda Melkite Greek church was opened on the street. Later in 1994, Al-Rahman mosque was built on the street, adjacent to al-Sabil park.
The street served as a highway until 2008 when the separating green row of trees was removed and the street was turned to a single-way avenue.
