Sāmarrā (Arabic,سامراء) is a town in Iraq that in ancient times may have been the world’s largest city. With its majestic mosques, gardens, and ruins of royal palaces extending 5.6 miles by 21.1 miles along the Tigris River, Samarra is one of four Islamic holy cities in Iraq. The home to a population of around 200,000, it stands on the east bank of the Tigris in the Salah ad Din Governorate, 60 miles north of Baghdad.
From the time it was built by Caliph Al-Mu’tasim in 836 C.E. to replace Baghdad as the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, until it was abandoned by Caliph Al-Mu’tamid in 892 C.E., Samarra was the most important center in the Muslim world. Its Great Mosque was the largest Mosque in the world at the time. Despite the short stay of the Abbasid Caliphate in Samarra, the city’s artistic, literary, and scientific splendors have remained an important part of Arab and Islamic history.
