The Abbasid Palace

Baghdad Abbasid Palace is a cultural and historical monument of the late XII, early XIII century. This is a vivid example of the culture of Arab Mesopotamia of the Middle Ages. The palace belonged to the dynasty of Arab caliphs, originating from the Prophet Muhammad and ruling the caliphate for 5 centuries.

Baghdad (translated from Iranian "God given") was a link between East and West, due to its favorable geographical location, and firmly maintained the reputation of the main center of the Arab-Persian world. In the heart of Baghdad, the Abbasid Palace was erected. There is a version that it originally originated as a madrasah (school). When you visit this amazing palace, you involuntarily feel like a character in the fairy tales of “One Thousand and One Nights”. Everything around speaks of exorbitant luxury and wastefulness. The “Golden Age” of Baghdad art is vividly represented here by a mosaic of multi-colored marble using glass and mirrors with openwork brick ornaments with patterned details of gilded bronze with unique ornamental carvings of marble, wood and plaster. There is a legend about a tree of gold and silver, hung with diamonds. To this day, Baghdad remains the center of Arab culture.
