Mosque of Morgan, Religious and educational complex in Baghdad, Iraq

The Murjan Mosque occupies 1,500 square meters on al-Rashid Street near the Shorja marketplace, featuring one main dome and two smaller domes.

The Madrasa Murjania emerged in 1356 through funding from Jalairid Sultan Shaykh Uways Jalayir, establishing a center for teaching four Sunni maddhabs.

The mosque library contained rare manuscripts from scholar Nu'man al-Alusi until their transfer to the Public Endowments Library, which burned during the 2003 invasion.

The building accommodates 1,200 worshipers within its prayer area, which is enclosed by a surrounding wall and topped with decorative domes.

British explorer James Silk Buckingham documented the mosque's entrance in 1816, noting its pointed arch and detailed surface ornamentation.
