Mosque of Sayed Sultan Ali, Ottoman mosque in Al-Rusafa district, Baghdad, Iraq.
The mosque features a traditional Ottoman design with a large central dome, intricate brick minaret decorated with blue tiles, and spacious prayer halls.
The mosque was constructed in 1590 under the supervision of Kemankeş Kara Ali Pasha and underwent renovations during Sultan Abdul Hamid II's reign in 1892.
The prayer hall contains a mihrab, an old minbar, and walls decorated with calligraphic inscriptions and verses from the Quran.
The religious complex includes a library, a madrasah for religious studies, and can accommodate more than 1,000 worshippers within its 600-square-meter interior.
The mosque houses the mausoleum of its namesake Sayyid Sultan Ali, whose identity remains subject to historical debates among scholars and historians.
