The site is said to have held an earlier mosque, built in the 12th century by the Abbasid caliph al-Nasir li-Din Allah. In the 19th century Dawud Pasha, the Mamluk governor of Baghdad under Ottoman rule, had the present mosque built on that foundation; one source describes his work as a renewal of the older building. Wikidata dates the structure to 1819. In later years the mosque became associated with ideas against British colonial rule and with national gatherings.
From Wikipedia
The Haydar-Khana Mosque (Arabic: جامع الحيدر خانة) is a mosque and madrasa, situated on al-Rashid Street in the Haydar-Khana district of Baghdad, in the Baghdad Governorate of Iraq. Originally built on top of a 12th-century mosque built by the Abbasid Caliph al-Nasir, the 19th-century mosque was built by the Mamluk Dawud Pasha. The mosque is one of Baghdad's most recognizable historical landmarks known for its architecture, role as a public sphere, and religious activities.
The mosque is considered one of the most beautiful and perfect mosques in Baghdad in terms of engineering and architectural construction and is also considered important for its contribution to revolutionary ideas against British colonialism in Iraq. It is also a great symbol for Iraqis because it was the center of national events of the religious, political and social diversity of the region.
