Abstract

The Galilee family is one of the most important families that ruled the city of Mosul, and to it belong most of the archaeological buildings in the city. This family was able to gain the confidence of the people of Mosul through the good reputation enjoyed by the men of this family and their many construction works such as building walls, castles, forts and building mosques The university and the restoration of the old ones, as well as the construction of inns and markets, as well as many endowment buildings that they built for themselves and their descendants.

The second paragraph came to talk about the walls, castles, and towers of the city, which were reconstructed and parts restored in this era.

The third paragraph dealt with the most important mosques built by the Galilean rulers and the most important schools that were attached to them.

and in the last paragraph, we talked about the most important khans that were built and stopped during this period.
