List of churches and monasteries in Nineveh information


Interior view of the Meskinta Assyrian-Chaldean Church in Mosul

Mosul, Iraq is known for its several old churches, some of which originally date back to the early centuries of Christianity. The ancient churches of the city are often hidden through labyrinthine alleyways behind thick walls and are therefore not easy to find. Some of them have suffered from poor upkeep due to a lack of attendance, and some of them were entirely destroyed during the battle for Mosul and the 4 years of ISIS control the city suffered through.
