Khan al-Gumruk

The caravanserai dates back to the early era of the Jalili dynasty activities in Mosul. Three sons of the first Jalili notable Abdul-Jalili, Isma'il Agha, Ibrahim Agha, and Khalil Agha, established and endowed the caravanserai for their mosque, which later became the Aghas Mosque. Believed to be a place for trading goods, the establishment was a place for registering goods according to the Ottoman tax system.^[1]

Khan al-Gumruk is also notable for being one of the only historical sites in Mosul to remain intact in its original form unlike most heritage sites in the city that were destroyed or damaged during the war on ISIS.^[3]
