Great Mosque, Religious center in Duhok, Iraq
The Great Mosque is located near Duhok's main bazaar and features a central minaret with space for approximately 800 worshippers. The building includes the main prayer hall and separate educational spaces for Islamic instruction.
The building was founded in 1684 with financial support from a philanthropist in the region. It underwent major renovations in the late 1900s and early 2000s to maintain its structure.
The mosque serves as a gathering place for Duhok's Muslim community and shapes the character of the bazaar with its distinctive architectural presence.
Visitors can view the mosque from the outside or enter during open hours according to local customs and guidelines. The structure is easy to locate from the bazaar and sits in the city center.
The building houses historic manuscripts from the 17th century, including theological works by local scholars. These collections show the long tradition of Islamic learning that developed at this site.
