Baghdad Tower, Communications tower in Yarmouk, Baghdad, Iraq.
Baghdad Tower rises 205 meters into the sky, featuring a cylindrical structure with an observation deck and rotating restaurant at its summit.
The tower, completed in 1994, replaced a communications structure that was destroyed during the Gulf War and underwent name changes following the 2003 invasion.
The inscription 'Allah is the Greatest' decorates the top of the restaurant section, reflecting the integration of Islamic elements into modern Iraqi architecture.
The tower contains seven floors of facilities, including telecommunications equipment, viewing platforms, and dining spaces for visitors to experience Baghdad from above.
During periods of conflict, American military forces utilized the tower as a strategic position, leading to substantial modifications in its operations and accessibility.
