Mosque of Morgan, Religious and educational complex in Baghdad, Iraq
The Mosque of Morgan is a religious and educational building located on al-Rashid Street near the Shorja marketplace. It features a central dome with two smaller domes and walls that enclose the prayer area.
The building was founded in the 14th century and initially served as a school for different Islamic traditions. It became an important center of learning in Baghdad.
The mosque takes its name from a merchant and scholarly family long rooted in this part of Baghdad. Visitors can still sense this connection in how the community maintains and uses the space today.
The building is located in a busy market area, so the best time to visit is early morning or after prayer times. The surrounding streets become quite crowded during peak hours.
The building once housed an important manuscript collection that attracted scholars from different lands. This collection played a key role in spreading knowledge throughout the city.
