Murjan Mosque (Arabic: جامع مرجان) is a historic mosque on al-Rashid Street located near the Shorja marketplace and the Abboud Building in Baghdad, Iraq.[1] The walled mosque is significant for housing tombs of prominent Islamic scholars, including Nu'man al-Alusi and also for housing a madrasa. Today, it is considered an important ancient landmark in Baghdad.[2]
