Al-Askari Mosque (Samarra)
Description:
Al-Askari Mosque (Samarra), built in 944, has become the epicenter of terrorist attacks of recent decades. This negatively affected the facade of the building, and in particular the golden dome of the historical monument.
But this mosque is the main Shiite temple of Iraq, as well as the tomb of two imams - Ali al-Hadi and Askari. It is a place of faith for all believers and believers.
In 2007, the Al-Askari Mosque was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Now the dome of the mosque no longer shines with the golden luxury once presented by Nasruddin Shah, but it still stands in the ancient city of Samarra, where the prayer is read daily and Muslims glorify the power and power of Allah.
