Al Tahira Church, Syriac Catholic church in Mosul, Iraq
The stone structure of Al Tahira Church exhibits traditional regional religious architecture with prominent arches and detailed stone carvings across its facade.
Constructed between 1859 and 1862, Al Tahira Church replaced an ancient religious building that previously stood at the same location in Mosul.
The church functions as a central gathering place for Syriac Catholic ceremonies, religious education classes, and community meetings in the Nineveh region.
Visitors can reach the church through the main roads of Mosul, with restoration work currently in progress under UNESCO supervision.
The reconstruction project, initiated in 2020, implements specific techniques to preserve the original architectural elements while strengthening the structure.
