Central Bank of Iraq Tower

The Central Bank of Iraq Tower rises 172 meters along the Tigris River, featuring a twisting exoskeleton frame that defines its exterior structure.

The construction of this financial headquarters began in 2018 following a design commission to architect Zaha Hadid in 2010, with completion scheduled for 2024.

The building's exterior pattern draws inspiration from the Tigris River waves, incorporating local environmental elements into its modern architectural design.

The 37-story structure contains specialized facilities including a central data center, cash management areas, museums, and multiple entrance points for different security levels.

The tower's base starts narrow and expands at mid-height before tapering again, creating a distinctive silhouette in Baghdad's financial district.
