From Wikipedia
Al-Nabi Yunus Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع الٓنَّبِي يُوْنُس, romanized: Jāmiʿ al-Nabī Yūnus, lit. 'Mosque of the Prophet Jonah'), also known as the Mosque of the Prophet Jonah, and the Shrine of Nabi Yunis, was a historic Sunni congregational mosque and shrine, partially destroyed in 2014, that was located in Mosul, in the Nineveh Governorate of Iraq. It contained a tomb believed to be that of the Abrahamic prophet Jonah, known as Yunus by Muslims. After the liberation of Mosul, additional excavations revealed the ruins of a Neo-Assyrian palace beneath the mosque.
