Baghdad's historic homes are crumbling
STORY: Baghdad’s heritage homes are crumbling
This 100-year-old building is one of
2,500 remaining historic houses
Although many are protected
by the government
owners struggle to carry out the
often expensive renovations
(Dhikra Sarsam, Burj Babel Initiative)
"A few of these houses have the specific columns and inscriptions that classify it as a grade-A heritage home. This is why we see it as a huge loss for future generations who will see their city void of any landmarks that reflect its identity and document its history."
But rising real estate prices also
encourage illicit demolitions
(Dhikra Sarsam, Burj Babel Initiative)
"There was a fire here, it's obvious. We were called in and told the house was getting destroyed, you can see what caused the destruction, it surely did not collapse on its own, there was definitely an outside hand in it."
Despite the challenges, Sarsam works to raise
awareness of the need to preserve old Baghdad
