The White Mosque (Arabic: المسجد الأبيض, al-Masjid al-Abyad; Hebrew: המסגד הלבן, HaMisgad HaLavan) is an Ottoman-era mosque in Nazareth, Israel, occupied Palestine.[1] It is located in Harat Alghama or the "Mosque Quarter" in the centre of Nazareth's Old Market.[2] The mosque's pencil-shaped minaret,[2] cream-coloured walls, and green-coloured trim and dome are an example of the Ottoman architecture that is commonly found throughout the city.
