The US embassy revived “Qare saray” in Mosul

Shafaq News / The US embassy in Baghdad announced on Wednesday that a historic landmark in the city of Mosul, in northern Iraq, has been revived.

The embassy said in a statement that “Qare saray”, the second historical landmark in Mosul, was cleaned, lit, and supplied with electric lamps in a recovery program by a team from the city, in cooperation with the Nineveh Electricity Distribution Directorate to preserving the antiquities.
