Mahmood Mosque (Haifa) [Canvas]

Mahmood Mosque (Haifa)

The Mahmood Mosque (Masjid Mahmood) in Haifa, Palestine, is the city's oldest surviving mosque, constructed in 1750 during Ottoman rule by Sheikh Mahmood al-Husseini as a small prayer room that evolved into a full mosque by the early 20th century. Located in the Wadi Nisnas neighborhood, it features modest Ottoman-style architecture with white stone walls, a simple dome, and a slender minaret added later. Serving Haifa's Arab Muslim community through turbulent history - including the 1948 War when it remained intact amid neighborhood depopulation - it stands as a humble waqf-administered site symbolizing the city's pre-state multicultural fabric. Restored in recent decades, it blends seamlessly into Wadi Nisnas's vibrant Arab-Christian quarter, hosting daily prayers and occasional community events.
