Baghdad

Baghdad lies on both banks of the Tigris. Founded by al-Mansur in the eighth century as his Round City and called Madinat al-Salam, it stayed the centre of the Abbasid caliphate until the Mongol conquest of 656/1258 and was for centuries the cultural metropolis of the Muslim world. It later became a provincial centre under the Ilkhanids and the Ottomans, and in 1921 the capital of modern Iraq.
