Republican Palace, Government palace in Baghdad, Iraq
The Republican Palace stands as a vast complex with marble staircases, multiple floors, and extensive gardens overlooking the Euphrates River in central Baghdad.
King Faisal II commissioned the palace construction in the 1950s, but following his assassination in 1958, the building became the residence of subsequent Iraqi leaders.
The palace architecture incorporates traditional Iraqi design elements with modern construction methods, featuring grand halls for ceremonial state functions and diplomatic receptions.
The Republican Palace remains within the secured Green Zone of Baghdad, with access limited to official government personnel and authorized diplomatic delegations.
During Saddam Hussein's rule, the palace served as the primary location for government operations while similar structures across Iraq totaled approximately 100 buildings.
