Al-Wazeer Mosque (Arabic: جامع الوزير, romanized: Jami' al-Wazir) is an old mosque in Baghdad, Iraq, which is considered a cultural heritage building. The mosque was built by the Wazir of Baghdad Hassan Pasha in 1599 during the Ottoman era. Later the mosque witnessed several renovation and restoration works. The main characteristic of the mosque is its Ottoman architectural style.[1] It is located in al-Rusafa district behind the Souk al-Sarai, near the riverbank of the Tigris River.[2]
The area in which the mosque is located in, as well as al-Wazeer Mosque itself, are a part of a tentative UNESCO World Heritage Site.[1]
