A public square inspired by the architectural and cultural identity of the Great Mosque of Maarrat al-Nu'man, reinterpreting selected historical elements through a contemporary architectural language.

Six columns supporting a central dome form the main focal point of the square, drawing on the spatial character of the mosque while creating a distinct contemporary landmark. The main entrance, defined by four stone columns and an upper cornice, establishes the principal axis towards the dome.

A commemorative mural of Abu al-'Ala al-Ma'arri introduces the city's intellectual heritage into the space, complementing the architectural composition and reinforcing the connection between history, identity and contemporary public space.
