Garden of Ridván, Historical garden in Rusafa district, Baghdad, Iraq
The Garden of Ridván extends along the eastern bank of the Tigris River, featuring four main avenues lined with abundant roses and diverse vegetation.
The garden served as the location where Baháʼu'lláh declared his religious mission to followers during a twelve-day period from April 21 to May 2, 1863.
The Festival of Ridván, celebrated annually by Baháʼí followers worldwide, commemorates the declaration made by Baháʼu'lláh in this garden setting.
The original garden site has been transformed into Baghdad Medical City, a complex of teaching hospitals located 450 meters north of Baghdad's Mu'azzam gate.
Muhammad Najib Pasha, Baghdad's governor from 1842 to 1847, established this garden in an agricultural area, initially naming it Najibiyyih Garden.
