Sitt Zumurrud Khatuns Tomb, Baghdad, Iraq
Sitt Zumurrud Khatuns Tomb. This is the most famous mausoleum in Baghdad. It is situated in the western sector of Baghdad not faraway from the main railway station.Erroneously ascribed to Sitt Zubeida (see postcard caption!), wife of Caliph Harun Al-Rashid, who was actually buried in the Qureish cemeteries in Al-Kadhimeyya, it is in fact the tomb of Zumurrud Khatoun, wife of the Caliph Al-Mustadhi Bi-Amrillah, who had it constructed as a mausoleum for herself sometime before 1202 AD, during the reign of her son, the Caliph Al-Naser Li Dinillah. The mausoleum is octagonal in shape and surmounted by a high conical-shaped dome in Seljuk style, one of the most remarkable in the city. Date: circa 1910s
