'The Caliphs Street'), is an old avenue located in the center of Baghdad, Iraq. The street contains many notable landmarks and heritage sites such as al-Khulafa Mosque, which the street gains its secondary name from, and the markets of Shorja and Ghazil Market. As well as many old traditional houses.
The site of the street contains al-Khulafa Mosque, along with the markets, which predate the street by centuries.
