The Resurgence of the Baghdad Caliphate
Baghdad appears in the Middle Ages as a nucleated city divided along sectarian lines, with each sect centered around its own places of cult and worship. The history of the late Baghdad caliphate falls into two nearly equal periods: the period of Seljuq domination and Sunni revival (1055‐c. 1150), and the period of the resurgent caliphate and Sunni ecumenism (c. 1150‐1258). Baghdad presents a very incomplete picture of religious architecture in comparison to other Islamic cities, where a measure of architectural continuity is often provided by the congregational mosque of the city. In terms of minarets, of all the mosques built by the Abbasid caliphs and Seljuq sultans, what remains is a handful of minarets, two of which date from the pre‐ Mongol period, and a third, once belonging to the Mosque of the Caliphs, was rebuilt in the early Mongol period.
