| dc.description | This two-storied, brick historic monument is situated close to the left bank of the Tigris River in the al-Maiden neighborhood of Baghdad. While there is much contention over the original date of the site, stylistically it was probably constructed during al-Mustansir's caliphate, dating it to the late Abbasid period (1175-1230). Excavations and restoration efforts provide evidence that it most likely functioned as a madrasa rather than a palace.

Its fine decoration in cut brick and stucco is among the richest and most elaborate of its kind before the 14th century. It has been made into a museum illustrating different features of Islamic architecture." | en_US |
