Mosul Grand Mosque, Sunni mosque in Taqafah district, Mosul, Iraq.
The Mosul Grand Mosque features two minarets and ten domes along the Tigris River near the Nineveh archaeological site.
The initial construction of the mosque began under Arfajah ibn Harthamah during the Rashidun Caliphate, with later expansions by Marwan ibn Muhammad.
The mosque represents a central gathering place for Sunni Muslims in Mosul, hosting regular prayers and religious ceremonies throughout the year.
The United Arab Emirates provided a grant of 50 million dollars in 2019 to resume the construction works of this incomplete religious building.
The mosque underwent several name changes throughout its existence, including a period when it carried the name of former president Saddam Hussein.
