Khan Al-Shaylan

It is a street located in the city of Najaf and built in 1895 AD for the purpose of accommodating the visitors of Imam Ali. It became the seat of the Ottoman local government and then the seat of the British government. In the twentieth revolution, it became a prison for English prisoners, and their writings and memories are still on its walls. However, the Khan has become nowadays a museum that tells the history and heritage of Najaf and Iraq.
