Salman Al-Farsi Mosque, Mausoleum and mosque in Madain district, Baghdad, Iraq

The Salman Al-Farsi complex includes a central mosque with two 23-meter minarets and four domes of varying sizes across its 7,000 square meters.

Built with Maghrebi designs incorporating Ottoman and Abbasid architectural elements, the shrine houses the tomb of Salman Al-Farsi, a Persian companion of Prophet Muhammad.

The central dome covering Salman Al-Farsi's tomb measures 8 meters in diameter and rises 17 meters above ground level.
