Mosul Grand Mosque
The Mosul Grand Mosque is an incomplete Sunni Islamic mosque located in Mosul, Iraq. It is the largest mosque in Mosul and was previously called Saddam Mosque in honour of the Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein.
The mosque is situated in the Taqafah district bordering the Tigris river near the Nineveh archeological site. Its construction started during the Saddam Hussein regime, but works were interrupted because of the political instability in the country and it remains incomplete to this day.
Nineveh Governorate municipality announced in 18 February 2019 that construction was resumed, albeit damages caused by ISIS, with a 50 million dollar grant from the United Arab Emirates. Completion date was not set.
