And since it was necessary to go to some kind of sources, Ibn Battuta’s Journey book was chosen to depict for us the urban landmarks in Iraq, which included three axes that the research revolved around: (religious architecture) such as mosques, shrines, etc., and (civil architecture) such as houses and bathrooms Schools, markets, etc., and (military architecture), including trenches, walls, forts, castles, and so on. This research falls within the field of Islamic history and therefore its method is historical and its level is descriptive and inductive. It was relied on Ibn Battuta’s Journey book to extrapolate what was mentioned in it about the urban landmarks in Iraq.
