Across the Tigris from the ruins of ancient Nineveh, Mosul has been a meeting point of cultures and faiths for millennia. After years of hardship, the city's landmarks — including the al-Nuri Mosque with its leaning al-Hadba minaret, and the al-Tahira and al-Saa'a churches — have been restored in a landmark UNESCO initiative.
