Al-Jawali Mosque, also known as the Amir Sanjar al-Jawli Mosque, stands in the Old City of Hebron, Palestine, and forms an integral part of the Ibrahimi Mosque sanctuary (the Cave of the Patriarchs). It adjoins the north-eastern wall of the sanctuary building, and its surviving parts are cut from the rock, so it cannot be seen from outside. A passage running alongside the Ibrahimi prayer hall links the two mosques. The interior has three aisles with cross vaults carried on large stone columns, each bay covered by a dome. A stone dome with muqarnas decoration at its corners and mosaic windows at its crown rises over the centre of the prayer hall. The mihrab in the south-eastern part is carved into the rock and faced with marble panels bearing coloured designs; its semi-dome is also decorated in marble.
