UNESCO Director-General on official visit to Mosul

In a historic visit marking UNESCO's progress to Revive the Spirit of Mosul, the Director-General Audrey Azoulay undertook a mission to Mosul where iconic monuments, historic houses and churches are being restored, after years of war and occupation.

The visit marks the final phase of reconstruction, 5 years after the launch of UNESCO’s flagship initiative Revive the Spirit of Mosul. The landmarks that UNESCO is rehabilitating and rebuilding are rising from the ground and with this hope is returning to people’s hearts, and people are returning to their home.
