The Al-Tahera Church (Arabic: كنيسة الطاهرة القلعة) is a partially demolished Syriac Catholic church in Mosul, Iraq.
History
[edit]The current building was constructed between 1859 and 1862, replacing an adjacent ancient church. The church was partially destroyed by ISIL during its campaign to destroy cultural heritage during 2014–2017. A reconstruction effort was organized by UNESCO with support of the United Arab Emirates to rebuild the church.[1]
