Al-Qasr al-Abyadh, Heritage palace in Karrada, Iraq

The White Palace features multiple architectural components including decorative elements with lion reliefs, leopard fountains, and Corinthian capitals throughout the structure.

The construction of this monumental palace began in 1934, marking a period of architectural development in the Karrada district of Baghdad.

The palace demonstrates the integration of Hellenistic architectural principles with local Iraqi building traditions through its structural design and ornamental features.

The site maintains regular visiting hours from morning until afternoon, with guided tours available in Arabic and English through the main entrance.

An artificial lake surrounds the palace grounds, requiring visitors to cross a structural dam before reaching the main entrance gate.
