Samarra - Askari Shrines

by MProcher - last update: Sep 10, 2002

the Shrine

The main facade of the Shrine is quite impressive but what faszinated me much more are the tile decorations in the courtyard which are coming later in the travelogue.
The second Shrine with a family in front of it: a man with his wifes and some children
A great view from the top of the spiralo minaret on the Askari Shrines.

 Very Nice page, Iraq has a very rich and interesting history but too bad all the wars have destory everything. Even when it become tourist friendly, all the historical sites had been destory. We can only rely on photos for its beauty.

 Interesting Tips and impressive pictures. Are ziccurats in Iraq now? Or we can see them only on history books?

 Nicely done. I cannot imagine anyone visiting this country on holiday anytime soon. Great photos and writing. Thank you.

 Well done! For a moment I though all Iraq related pages here were propaganda by occupation forces. Yours deserve to be number one.
