Sidna Omar mosque, Mamluk mosque in Jewish Quarter, Jerusalem.
The Sidna Omar Mosque features a two-story minaret with a balcony for the muezzin, displaying architectural elements from the Mamluk period.
The earliest documented reference to the mosque dates back to 1397, when historian Mujir al-Din recorded renovations funded through community donations.
The mosque stands between the Armenian and Jewish quarters, representing an intersection of religious communities within the Old City of Jerusalem.
The mosque remains closed since the Six-Day War, but underwent renovations in 1974 and received additional improvements through Jordanian funding in 2019.
According to historical records by Obadiah Bartenura, the mosque originated from a Jewish individual who converted to Islam and initiated its construction.
