Amazing footage. Thanks. These are scenes of the Tigris river followed by a view of the first modern bridge in Baghdad (Jisr al-Shuhada', bridge of martyrs) which is also the site of the old bridge of boats. At the end of the bridge are the Asifiyya mosque, the Mustansiriyya school, the Khaffafin teahouse, and Suq al-Sarai, all ancient landmarks of Baghdad, then the Kazimain shrine with golden domes.

@IraqiMaqam Thank you ever so much for your comments. It is viewers such as you who provide that additional context so important for appreciating and enjoying HSFA's historical moving images. Celebrate October 27 UNESCO's World Day for Audio Visual Heritage!

Our government needs to put on more efforts to rebuild this country, this mosque was blown up two years ago and it's still in ruins. Where the hell is our money going?

@Kra7as if our money was going to rebuild mosques then we are the stupidest people on the planet !!!

@therockkkkher It is not about religion or nationalism you moron! It's about what we are as human beings, as civilized creatures in this planet, can't you see that! What we are right now, as a specie and civilization, had its origin somewhere and that "somewhere" is places like Samarra. I am Honduran but it would hurt me to see the destruction of any heritage site anywhere in the world. Your alledged "American pride" and arrogance just make you look extremely ignorant and stupid.

The two golden domes are of Kazmain Shrines in Baghdad . Nice to see that they have'nt changed since that time.

The filmmaker identified the footage as "golden mosque" but we recognize that this may be incorrect. Hence, we appreciate the comment and if anyone can provide further information for identifying the footage we will incorporate that into the description.

I must say that that is not the once awesome 'Golden Mosque' of Samarra, Iraq.

The video is of the kazmain shrines, NOT sammara.
