El-Jazzar Pasha Mosque / The White Mosque (Acre) [Poster]

The El-Jazzar Pasha Mosque, also known as the White Mosque (Al-Jami' al-Abyad), in Acre, Palestine, is the city's largest and most magnificent mosque, built between 1775 and 1781 by Ottoman governor Ahmad Pasha al-Jazzar to celebrate his victory over the Egyptian naval fleet. Constructed atop a Crusader-era structure using white limestone, it features classic Ottoman architecture with a large central dome, slender pencil-shaped minarets, intricate tilework, and a serene courtyard housing al-Jazzar's tomb and a sacred spring believed to contain the Prophet Muhammad's hair. Funded by al-Jazzar’s personal wealth, including spoils from his campaigns, the mosque served as Acre’s primary place of worship and a symbol of Ottoman power during the 1799 siege against Napoleon. Located in the UNESCO-listed Old City amid Acre’s multicultural bazaars, it remains an active waqf-administered site, blending Islamic grandeur with the port’s layered Crusader, Ottoman, and Arab heritage.
