Radwaniyah Palace, Presidential palace near Baghdad International Airport, Iraq

The Radwaniyah Palace spans across 18 square kilometers, containing two distinct presidential buildings, artificial lakes, and man-made hills within its complex.

The palace complex served as Saddam Hussein's primary residence before becoming a military installation following the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.

The complex incorporates traditional Iraqi architectural elements with marble decorations and specific design features commonly found in presidential residences.

The palace grounds are enclosed by high walls with watchtowers, situated approximately 20 kilometers from central Baghdad with access routes from Al Urdun Street.

The facility included a detention center capable of holding 5,000 inmates, and the complex later transformed into military bases named Camp Liberty and Camp Victory.
