Sunni mosque completed in 1293 AD.
The Al-Sarai Mosque, also known as Hassan Pasha Mosque or Al-Nasr li-Din Allah Mosque, is a Sunni mosque located in the Rusafa district of Baghdad, in the Baghdad Governorate of Iraq, on Zuqaq al-Sarai. The mosque was said to be first laid by 34th Abbasid Caliph al-Nasir in 1193 CE. The mosque was also nicknamed "King Ghazi Mosque" because it was where the old Iraqi Kings prayed during the Royal Era.

المدرسة المستنصرية

شارع المتنبي
Baghdad's historic booksellers' street, named after the 10th-century poet Al-Mutanabbi. Every Friday, the street hosts a bustling book market where vendors sell everything from rare Arabic manuscripts to secondhand novels. The nearby Shahbandar Café, one of Baghdad's oldest, is a popular stop. The street was badly damaged in a 2007 car bombing but has been fully rebuilt and remains the intellectual heart of the city.
Built in 1898, it is the seat of the Chaldean Catholic Patriarchate of Babylon.
