Baghdad (Arabic: بغداد ,بغداد Kurdish: Bexda, Iraqi pronunciation: [bɐʁˈd̪ɑːd̪]) is the capital of the Republic of Iraq. The population of Baghdad, as of 2011, is approximately 7,216,040, making it the largest city in Iraq, the second largest city in the Arab world (after Cairo, Egypt), and the second largest city in Western Asia (after Tehran, Iran). According to the government, the population of the country has reached 35 million, with 9 million in the capital.
Located along the Tigris River, the city was founded in the 8th century and became the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. Within a short time of its inception, Baghdad evolved into a significant cultural, commercial, and intellectual center for the Islamic world. This, in addition to housing several key academic institutions (e.g. House of Wisdom), garnered the city a worldwide reputation as the "Center of Learning".
Throughout the High Middle Ages, Baghdad was considered to be the largest city in the world with an estimated population of 1,200,000 people. The city was largely destroyed at the hands of the Mongol Empire in 1258, resulting in a decline that would linger through many centuries due to frequent plagues and multiple successive empires. With the recognition of Iraq as an independent state (formerly the British Mandate of Mesopotamia) in 1938, Baghdad gradually regained some of its former prominence as a significant center of Arab culture.

Ce documentaire reviens sur Madīnat as-Salām Baghdad fondée en 762, par le deuxième calife abbasside Abu-Jafar Al-Mansur et construite en quatre ans par 100 000 ouvriers. Selon les historiens arabes, il existait à son emplacement plusieurs villages pré-islamiques, dont l'un s'appelait Bagdad. Ce nom est cité dans le Talmud, de deux siècles antérieur. Après la prise du pouvoir par les Abbassides au détriment des Omeyyades de Damas en 750, l'emplacement est choisi comme capitale du califat. Même si, à partir du xe siècle, elle a pour rivales dans cette fonction, d’abord Le Caire (avec la dynastie des Fatimides), puis Cordoue avec le nouveau califat des Omeyyades, elle joue le rôle d’une des capitales de l’islam et le restera jusqu’au milieu du xiiie siècle. Le Bagdad des Abbassides est...
