  • 36.35243.37981 Church of Virgin Mary. This church was built in 1890 at the time of Qorlos Elias al-Mosuli. However, an inscription dating 16th century mentions the name of the Church of the Virgin which contradicts the date of 1890 and assumes that this church was standing at that time. The gate and part of the church were destroyed by ISIS sometime between August 2014 and October 2016. OSM directions (updated Jan 2024)
