Sidna Omar Mosque (original) (raw)

The Sidna Omar Mosque (Arabic: مسجد سيدنا عمر, lit. 'Lord Omar mosque') is a Mamluk-era mosque in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. It stands adjacent to the Hurva and Ramban Synagogues. Some time after the Six-Day War, the mosque was closed. After decades closed, the mosque was renovated in 2019 and a new imam was appointed. Due to its location in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City, the mosque's minaret does not possess a sound system.
