Mausoleum of Umar Suhrawardi, Religious complex in Baghdad, Iraq
The mausoleum features a marble-coated dome supported by ten pillars, with thick walls demonstrating substantial architectural strength and precision.
Built in the 12th century during the Abbasid Caliphate, the complex underwent extensive renovations between 1902 and 1926 under the supervision of Ismail Pasha.
The site contains the tomb of Shihab al-Din Umar al-Suhrawardi, founder of the Suhrawardi order of Sufism, marked by a wooden zarih and conical dome.
Located between Sheikh Umar Street and Bab al-Wastani, the complex includes a prayer area that accommodates 400 worshippers for daily religious services.
The summer prayer section surrounds an ancient cemetery, formerly known as Al-Wardiyya, which was renamed Sheikh Umar Cemetery after Suhrawardi's burial.
