The Statue of Saladin (Arabic: تمثال صلاح الدين الأيوبي) is an oversize equestrian bronze statue depicting the Kurdish Ayyubid Sultan Saladin located in front of the Citadel of Damascus in Damascus Syria. The statue designed by Syrian sculptor Abdallah al-Sayed and erected at municipal expense was unveiled by the late Syrian president Hafez Assad in 1993 to mark the 800th anniversary of Saladin’s death.
