Abbasid Palace

Baghdad, Iraq

One of the important buildings in Baghdad from the second Abbasid era near Bab al-Moadham on the river side. Researchers attribute its construction to the Caliph Al-Nasir Li-Din Allah 575 AH - 623 AH, as in his time, some landmarks were built in Baghdad. The structure of the palace is a central courtyard and two-floor rooms decorated with knots and muqarnas made in bricks. Among the palace facilities is an iwan whose facade and ceiling were decorated with brick motifs. During the maintenance of the palace, an iwan was built in front of it from the river side. Due to the large number of facilities and planning of this building in Al-Mustansiriya School, some have argued that it is the Sharabi School that was mentioned in some historical sources.
