Khan Marjan - a cultural icon of Baghdad

Our work includes efforts to rehabilitate and celebrate Khan Marjan, one of Iraq's most significant cultural and archaeological sites. The post-Abbasid caravanserai was a major architectural accomplishment of its time, which went on to influence the design and construction of khans across the region. 

Our Team

Liwan is an independent organsiation established in response to cultural collapse that the country has experienced. It is led and managed by an Iraqi  and international team, made up of archaeologists, architects, engineers, historians and those concerned with safeguarding and promoting Iraq's unique cultural heritage. 

Our Work

Liwan was established as a call to action, to address Iraq's cultural heritage needs, develop stronger community and societal engagement, and work towards an Iraq that champions its past as a way to pursue peace, stability and respect for all. 

Iraq's cultural heritage requires multi-stakeholder engagement to address its challenges and harness its opportunities. We strive to work across society, engaging with people and institutions in ways that build trust and develop sustainability. The tasks at hand are huge, but together we can make a difference and protect Iraq's unique cultural heritage.
