Abu Dulaf Mosque (Arabic: جامع أبو دلف) is an ancient historic mosque located approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of Samarra in the Saladin Governorate,[1] Iraq.
The mosque, along with the archeological city of Samarra, are a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention.
The iconic spiral minaret which resembles the renowned Malwiya of the Great Mosque of Samarra is located at the northern side.
The unique design of the minaret is said to be inspired by the similar structure in Firuzabad,[2] while others believe the minaret's unique spiral design is derived from the architecture of the Mesopotamian ziggurats (modern day Iraq).
