Iraq - Baghdad

Baghdad is the capital of the Republic of Iraq, as well as the coterminous Baghdad Province. Located along the Tigris River, the city was founded in the 8th century and became the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. The city is located on a vast plain bisected by the River Tigris. The Tigris splits Baghdad in half, with the eastern half being called 'Risafa' and the Western half known as 'Karkh'. The land on which the city is built is almost entirely flat and low-lying, being of alluvial origin due to the periodic large floods which have occurred on the river.

According toShi'a belief buried next to Ali within this mosque are the remains of Adam and Noah.

In 1622 Abbas Shah Safavi ordered the decoration of the grave's dome. He built a window around the grave and organized the precinct.
