In the city of Samarra in Iraq, the blessed grave of two Shia imams are buried there. One is Imam Hadi (peace be upon him) and his noble son Imam Hasan Askari (peace be upon him). The place is very beautiful and refined. A spiritual and peaceful place

Samarra, the capital of the Abbasid caliphate, and one of the most beautiful sites and cities, was taken by the Abbasid caliphs as their capital due to its mild climate, pleasant land and moderate air.

Very nice place worth to visit Before to get here better to ask them some time closed for maintenance.

Beautiful old city, 10, 000 years old, it was so unfortunate that the Americans have destroyed most of the heritage sites, which are now being restored

I visited in July 2023 and was not allowed to visit neither go near by, that the only photo I where allowed, anyway you can ask there is a second place similar where u can go up the Minaret only 20km further Samarra

It was nice trip, lovely people and nice atmosphere. More work required to improve the area.

They are doing some maintenance in the minaret so is not possible to go to the top at the moment but still worth a visit to take great pictures.

The city was one day the capital of the abbasid empire, with deep history and civilization, but now it is just a village and not livable place
