The Great Mosque of al-Nuri is a historical mosque in Mosul; Iraq famous for its leaning minaret. Tradition holds that Nur ad-Din Zangi built the mosque in 1172-73; shortly before his death. According to the chronicle of Ibn al-Athir; after Nur ad-Din took control of Mosul he ordered his nephew Fakhr al-Din to build the mosque.

The structure was targeted by ISIS militants who occupied Mosul on June 10; 2014 and previously destroyed the Tomb of Jonah. However residents of Mosul incensed with the destruction of their cultural sites protected the mosque by forming a human chain and forming a resistance against ISIS.
