As for the second heritage mosque which was named after its builder's name (Taha Al-Hassan), it is located in the northeastern part of Barshi neighborhood located in the north of Sinjar city. It was built according to different architectural styles, and it is considered one of the hanging mosques that rise above the surface of the earth.
