The Virgin Mary Church

It is located in Al-Midan Square in Bab Al-Moadham. It is considered one of the oldest existing churches in Baghdad, as its construction dates back to 1640 AD. The Armenians built it on a plot of land that the Ottoman Sultan Murad IV had given to the members of the sect, then it passed to the Nestorians before it came to the Orthodox Armenians and is still in their possession until today.
