Great Mosque of Amadiya, Historic mosque in Amadiya, Iraq.

The Great Mosque of Amadiya covers 2,000 square metres and holds up to 300 worshippers. Its 30-metre minaret, built under Sultan Hussein al-Wali, has a 3-metre-wide base, a 1.5-metre door, small windows and a spiral staircase of 103 steps. The harem has an upper section from Sultan Hussein's time and a lower women's prayer room, with domes of plaster, mud and stone.

The building was founded in 1177 during the Abbasid era and served as an important religious center in the region. It later suffered damage from airstrikes in the 20th century but was restored using original construction materials.

The attached madrasa, known as the Qubad school, was the largest school in the area in its day, teaching Fiqh and Arabic. Sultan Hussein al-Wali rebuilt it and added five dormitory rooms for students and two for teachers. A library of Fiqh works was established there, and the building still stands in its original architecture.

The site is located at a higher elevation in a mountainous area, so reaching it requires traveling through hilly terrain. Visitors should be prepared for uneven ground and be aware of local customs when entering a place of worship.

The minaret displays features similar to those found in the minaret of the al-Nuri mosque in Mosul. Both structures share characteristics from a time when comparable architectural styles were common throughout the region.
