Great Mosque of Amadiya, Historic mosque in Amadiya, Iraq.
The Great Mosque of Amadiya stands at an elevation of 3,900 feet with a minaret reaching 30 meters into the sky and holds 300 worshippers.
Founded in 1177 during the Abbasid era, the mosque underwent reconstruction after suffering damage from Iraqi airstrikes in 1961 using original building materials.
The mosque complex includes a madrasa that served as the largest educational institution in Amedi, focusing on religious studies and Arabic language instruction.
The mosque contains separate prayer sections for men and women, with the upper section built by Sultan Hussein and the lower section designated for female worshippers.
The minaret features architectural elements similar to the Great Mosque of al-Nuri in Mosul, including a square foundation and cylindrical structure from the 15th century.
