Exploring the historic treasures of Baghdad is now a possibility as stability slowly returns to the capital city of Iraq. Led by an Iraqi professor, a group of students embarks on a walking tour, marveling at centuries-old stone walls and palaces built to fend off invaders. With a renewed interest in the rich heritage of Baghdad, young architects and enthusiasts are hopeful for positive change and preservation of the city’s identity.
War and oppression have taken a toll on Baghdad over the decades, leading to significant decline. However, after the defeat of ISIS in 2017, a fragile stability has allowed for a greater focus on infrastructure and culture. Restoration projects are underway to revive historic streets and buildings, breathing new life into the once-thriving city.
As Baghdad’s status continues to improve, its unique blend of modern and ancient architecture is set to captivate visitors. The city’s rich history and cultural significance make it a must-visit destination, offering a glimpse into the heart of Arab and Islamic society.
