Reconstruction of Mosul’s Al-Nouri Mosque Complex Al-Tahera Church and Al-Saa’a Church about to begin
The Joint Steering Committee of UNESCO’s project for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Al-Nouri Mosque and its Al-Hadba Minaret, the Al-Tahera Church and Al-Saa’a Church, on 6 May determined future steps for the reconstruction of the three architectural landmarks of the Old City of Mosul (Iraq), part of UNESCO’s Revive the Spirit of Mosul initiative.
Next steps, following the results of the architectural competition that were made public on April 15, will focus on the development of a detailed design giving priority to the rehabilitation of the eastern part of the Complex, which includes the Al Nouri Prayer Hall. This symbolic building will be rebuilt as it was before its destruction in 2017 with some improvements in line with the wishes of the residents of Mosul, as reported in a survey by the University of Mosul last year.
