The Abbasid Palace (Arabic: القصر العباسي, romanized: Al-Qasr al-Abbasi) is an ancient Abbasid complex and an Iraqi historical palace located near the Tigris river on al-Rusafa side of Baghdad, Iraq. North of al-Mutanabbi Street and a part of al-Maidan area. The palace dates back to the 12th century and was built by Abbasid Caliph al-Nasir (although this is disputed) and was used as a walkable and observant fort for the Caliph. The Abbasid Palace is one of the few remaining examples of Abbasid-era buildings in Baghdad along with al-Mustansiriya Madrasa, al-Khulafa Mosque, and more.[1][2][3]
The Abbasid Palace is considered one of the most important archaeological buildings in Baghdad due to its age and Islamic architecture which is considered distinct from later Arab architecture styles. The area in which the palace is located in, as well as the palace itself, are a part of a tentative UNESCO World Heritage Site.[4]
