Al Tahira Church, Syriac Catholic church in Baghdida, Nineveh Governorate, Iraq

Al Tahira Church is a Syriac Catholic church in the center of Baghdida, Nineveh Governorate, Iraq. It is 54 meters long and 24 meters wide, with a central nave 15 meters high and two side aisles 12 meters high, separated by 22 massive columns of Mosul marble. The church has three altars, the central one under a marble canopy supported by four tall columns, and a dome pierced by twelve windows.

The cornerstone was laid on 21 August 1928 by Bishop Qorlos Jirjis Dallal, and construction continued until 1939, then paused due to World War II, a land dispute with the Jalili family, and poor harvests. Work resumed with donations of crops, livestock, women's jewellery and free labour, and the church was consecrated on 7 October 1947 in the presence of the apostolic delegate Stephen de Sheila. It was damaged under IS occupation in 2014–2016 and reopened after restoration in 2021.

The church serves as a gathering place for the Syriac Catholic community to hold religious ceremonies and community events throughout the year. It holds deep meaning for local Christians who have maintained their presence in the region across generations.

The church stands in the middle of Baghdida's old town, reached by a small street that climbs slightly. It lies about 500 m north-northeast of the Syriac Orthodox Mart Shmoni Church and 250 m west-northwest of the Church of John the Baptist. Services resumed after 2016 but were halted in 2018 when fire-damaged columns and vaults were judged unsafe; renovation was completed in early 2021.

During the IS occupation from 2014 to 2016, the church interior was used as a shooting range where fighters trained with firearms; the cross of pure silver holding a relic of Jesus Christ was looted, and books, manuscripts and paintings were burned. On 7 March 2021 Pope Francis visited and handed over a restored 14th/15th-century Syriac prayer book that had been kept in the church and damaged during the invasion.
