Al Jarina Mosque (Haifa) [Canvas]

Al Jarina Mosque (Haifa) 

The Al-Jarina Mosque (Masjid al-Jarina), also known as the Great Mosque of Haifa or Al-Nasr Mosque, is Haifa's second-oldest mosque, built in 1775 during Ottoman rule to commemorate Admiral Hassan Pasha al-Jazairli's victory over local ruler Daher al-Omar. Named for its proximity to the Jarina market square, it served as the city's primary place of worship for Arab Muslims until the 1948 War of Independence, featuring Ottoman-style architecture with white stone walls and a distinctive early-20th-century minaret resembling an English clock tower, adjacent to a 19th-century kurkar clock tower erected for Sultan Abdul Hamid II. Located in downtown Haifa amid the old city's bustling Governmental Center, it underwent restorations in 1958, 2011 by the Al-Aqsa Foundation, and saw funds allocated in 2024 for minaret reconstruction after its 1940s destruction. Though primarily for worshippers, it remains a poignant symbol of Haifa's multicultural Ottoman and Arab heritage, surrounded by modern skyscrapers.
