Baghdad Convention Center, Parliament building in Baghdad, Iraq

The Baghdad Convention Center spans 37,000 square meters and features a concrete frame structure with a central auditorium and multiple meeting spaces.

Finnish architects Kaija and Heikki Siren won an international competition in 1978 to design this governmental complex, completed in 1982.

The building incorporates blue glazed tiles and design elements that reference traditional Babylonian architectural motifs throughout its modern structure.

The main auditorium accommodates 1,100 participants and 123 delegations, with additional committee rooms and conference halls for various governmental functions.

Two granite pillars mark the formal entrance gateway, leading to interior spaces adorned with local Iraqi art and Finnish handcrafted elements.
