Green Zone, Government district in Baghdad, Iraq
The Green Zone spans 10 square kilometers in central Baghdad, enclosed by concrete barriers and security checkpoints along its perimeter.
After the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the United States military established control over this area, making it the Coalition Provisional Authority headquarters.
The district contains multiple government buildings, including former presidential palaces and the Republican Palace, reflecting Iraqi administrative architecture.
Since December 2018, vehicles can access the 14th of July Road through the Green Zone between 5 PM and 1 AM to reduce traffic congestion.
The zone features an underground network of bunkers, military facilities, and government structures connected by secure passageways beneath the surface.
