The al-Nabi Jirjis Mosque in Mosul is named for Jirjis, associated in Islamic tradition with Saint George; locals believed him buried in the attached mausoleum. As Jirjis is a semi-legendary martyr-saint, this is best regarded as a commemorative/locally-attributed maqam. Rebuilt by Timur in 1393, destroyed by ISIS on 27 July 2014, reopened in 2024.
