Since the rise of the Islamic State in 2014, cultural sites in Iraq and Syria have faced severe destruction, particularly in Mosul. The extremist group deliberately targeted monuments and places of worship, erasing the rich history of a region known as the cradle of civilization. In response, the 'Revive the Spirit of Mosul' initiative, funded by international organizations and governments, including UNESCO and the UAE, aims to restore key buildings and foster cultural diversity in the city. Over 140 million euros have been invested into the recovery of significant sites, engaging local communities in the rebuilding process to revive Mosul's spirit.
The 'Revive the Spirit of Mosul' project aims to restore the cultural and religious diversity in Mosul, emphasizing the city's historical significance and community involvement.
In the wake of the devastation caused by IS, UNESCO collaborates with various partners to allocate over 140 million euros for the reconstruction of key cultural sites in Mosul.
