Cizre Great Mosque
The building, which is located in the Dag Kapi District in the city center of Cizre, has survived to the present day with additions and repairs made at different times. The mosque is limited by the road from four directions. There is no definite information about its first structure. However, according to 8 inscriptions on it, it is determined that it was built in the period of Mosul Atabeks (1155-1160 AD) and repaired in 1203 and 1284. The last repair was made in 2007 by the General Directorate of Foundations. The dragon-figure doorknobs on the metal door in the Istanbul Museum of Turkish and Islamic Art are one of the most important elements that increase the reputation of the building. Cizre Ulu Mosque, which is still open for worship, is one of the most important characteristic structures of the region.
