Great Mosque of Hillah

The Great Mosque of Hillah stands as a main religious building on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River in central Iraq.

The mosque emerged in the area formerly known as Al-Jamiʿayn, established in the 10th century before the city received its current name in 1102.

This religious structure functions as a central point along the pilgrimage path connecting Baghdad to Kufah, holding special meaning for Shiite Muslims.

The mosque opens daily for prayers and welcomes visitors who wish to explore its architectural features and religious significance in Iraqi society.

Located near the ancient ruins of Babylon, the mosque demonstrates the continuation of spiritual practices in a region with over 4000 years of human civilization.
