Sayyidah Zaynab Mosque (Sinjar)

The original mausoleum building was built in 1239 CE by Badr al-Din Lu'lu' as part of a ruling strategy to promote Shia Islam by sponsoring the erection of shrines and tombs dedicated to Imams throughout the Ninawa Governorate.

The main part of the mausoleum, the shrine and tomb of Zaynab, is a large chamber topped with a conical ribbed dome.

It is topped by a ribbed circular dome and contains a mihrab made out of gypsum.

The mosque and shrine of Sayyida Zaynab were demolished using explosive devices by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in 2014.
