Al-Wazeer Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Baghdad, Iraq
Al-Wazeer Mosque features a high dome, a tall minaret, and an extensive courtyard that spans more than 1000 square meters.
Hassan Pasha, who governed Baghdad from 1594 to 1603, ordered the construction of this mosque in 1599 on the site of a former Abbasid religious building.
The mosque includes dedicated spaces for summer and winter prayers, reflecting the adaptation of religious practices to local climate conditions.
The prayer hall accommodates 500 worshippers and contains intricate decorations with muqarnas, stalactites, Quranic verses, and floral patterns.
A wooden entrance door, framed by yellow bricks with blue glazing, leads visitors into this religious structure near the Tigris River.
