Baghdad's Historical Treasures

Baghdad’s historical landscape spans millennia, from the 14th-century BC Kassite ziggurat of Dur-Kurigalzu to the medieval Al-Mustansiriya Madrasah, one of the world's oldest Islamic universities. The National Museum of Iraq houses a vast collection of Mesopotamian antiquities, while modern history is commemorated through the iconic split-dome Al-Shaheed Monument. This collection highlights the city's evolution from an ancient center of civilization to a major Abbasid capital and modern metropolis.
