Al-Maidan Square (Arabic: ساحة الميدان), also known as just al-Maidan, is an old locality and area located in al-Rusafa district in Baghdad, Iraq, that begins from Bab al-Mu'azzam to al-Rashid Street. The square includes many buildings, markets, departments, government headquarters and neighborhoods where officials such as former Iraqi prime ministers Nuri al-Said and Ja'far al-Askari lived.[1] Confined between al-Rashid Street and al-Jumhuriya Street, al-Maidan Square is considered one of the most prominent landmarks of Baghdad.[2]
