Resumen:
From 2014 to 2019, Daesh (ISIS) occupied and controlled territory in Iraq and Syria, including the northern city of Mosul. UNESCO estimates that 80% of Mosul’s historic town was destroyed during this period, which led to one of the most ambitious reconstruction campaigns in recent decades: «Revive the Spirit of Mosul.» Since 2019, UNESCO has carried out large-scale efforts to rebuild the city’s landscapes and monuments, reconstructing three religious and cultural landmarks and 124 heritage houses, along with other buildings located in the Old City. The program was structured around three pillars: restoring significant heritage, promoting the return of cultural life, and strengthening spaces for education. On September 1, 2025, Iraq’s Prime Minister inaugurated three major landmarks: the Al-Nouri Mosque complex, Al-Saa’a Convent, and Al-Tahera Church, marking the completion of the restoration project.
