Al-Nuri and the Hadba minaret are major religious and urban landmarks in Mosul’s old city.
Al-Nuri and the Hadba minaret are major religious and urban landmarks in Mosul’s old city. Destroyed in 2017, they were reconstructed through UNESCO, Iraqi institutions and local participation, with completion and inauguration records in 2025. Earlier history, wartime destruction and reconstruction are separate stages. The 2019 ruin photograph documents that stage rather than the present condition.
Read the minaret’s leaning silhouette, brick detail and relation to mosque and neighbourhood. Conservation uses documentation, material and technical judgement rather than copying one image. Completion differs from daily access and does not establish recovery of the entire city.
Al-Nuri Mosque in Mosul is associated with the Al-Hadba minaret. The medieval monument underwent changes over time and was destroyed during fighting in 2017. UNESCO subsequently participated in reconstruction. Its history, destruction and restoration are distinct phases.
