Maqam an-Nabi Yusha' (Arabic: مقام النبي يوشع) is a religious complex consisting of a mosque and the shrine containing a mausoleum believed to entomb the remains of the biblical Joshua. It is located in the abandoned village of Al-Nabi Yusha' in Safed, Mandatory Palestine. The structure, one of the historic maqams in the Middle East, is now in a ruined state.




History



The religious complex was founded in the 18th century by the aristocratic Alghul family. During the Mandate period, the residents of Al-Nabi Yusha' (who were mostly Shi'ites) celebrated an annual mawsim festival at the site dedicated to the entombed prophet. In 2018, the site was vandalized by unknown perpetrators, who sprayed Talmudic graffiti on its walls.




Architecture



The Maqam an-Nabi Yusha' is a rectangular structure formed around a courtyard aligned north–south with an arched entrance on the north end while the two domed chambers, including the shrine-mausoleum, were located on the south end of the complex. The shrine is surrounded by fig trees and species of cactus growing around it.
