Mosque of the Prophet Yunus, Ancient mosque in Mosul, Iraq
The mosque stood on the western slope of Tawbah Hill, featuring traditional Islamic architecture with stone walls and multiple prayer halls.
Built during medieval times, the mosque contained the believed tomb of Prophet Yunus until its destruction by ISIS militants in July 2014.
The mosque attracted numerous Turkish pilgrims who considered prayers at this site as a complementary ritual to their Hajj pilgrimage.
Archaeological excavations following the 2017 liberation revealed an extensive network of previously undocumented tunnels beneath the mosque ruins.
The site contains ancient Assyrian stone panels depicting Lamassu, winged bull sculptures that decorated palace entrances in ancient times.
