From Wikipedia
The Al-Khulafa Mosque (Arabic: جامع الخلفاء, romanized: Jami' Al-Khulafa), also known as the Al-Qasr Mosque (Arabic: جامع القصر), is a Sunni mosque located in the al-Rusafa district of Baghdad, in the Baghdad Governorate of Iraq. Situated on Jumhuriya Street, it is the oldest surviving mosque in Baghdad. It was first built in 908 CE and was completely rebuilt and restored in the 1960s by the Ministry of Awqaf in its current shape.
The minaret, though also restored in the 1960s, dates from the Ilkhanid period and used to be the highest point in Baghdad. Due to this, the mosque is referred to as one of the most important Islamic and historic landmarks in the city. However, in recent years the mosque has been threatened with collapse due to neglect from the Iraqi government. The mosque is also located across the street from the Latin Cathedral of St. Joseph in the Shorja area.
