al-Hadba is a prominent minaret located in Mosul, Iraq. It is part of the Great Mosque of al-Nuri, which was built in the 12th century. The minaret is known for its distinctive leaning structure, which gives it the nickname "the hunchback." The minaret stands approximately 45 meters tall and features intricate brickwork and decorative elements. It has significant historical and cultural importance, symbolizing the architectural heritage of Islamic civilization in the region. Unfortunately, the minaret was severely damaged in 2017 during the conflict involving ISIS and has since become a symbol of resilience and restoration efforts in Iraq.
