Damascus and Baghdad, Capitals and Lands of the Caliphs

By Jacques de Maussion de Favieres

Damascus and Baghdad served several times as capitals of the Caliphs. They both possess many reminders of six centuries of glory and glamor. Though they were eclipsed by Estimable during the Ottoman period, they have preserved their ancient culture and traditions amid the changes brought about by progress and urban expansion.

With many ills. Photos. Maps, better view of the old and the new of these great capitals (Damascus and Baghdad) in which were lived some of the greatest days in the history of civilization.
