Great Mosque of Nablus (Arabic: Jami' Nablus al-Kebir) is the oldest and largest mosque in the Palestinian city of Nablus. It was originally built as a Christian church. The mosque is located at the intersection of the main streets of Nablus' Old City on its eastern edge. It has a long, narrow, rectangular floor plan and a silver dome. Local legend in Nablus claims that mosque site was where Joseph's brothers presented Jacob the blood-stained coat of Joseph to convince him his favorite son was dead. This tradition is more associated with the nearby al-Khadra Mosque, however. The site of the Great Mosque was originally a basilica built during the reign of Philip the Arab in 244-249 CE. The Byzantines later constructed a cathedral on the basilica's ruins and this cathedral is shown in the mosaic Map of Madaba in 600 CE. It was likely damaged or destroyed by the Samaritans during their raids in 484 and 529, but Emperor Justinian I had the cathedral restored.
