The city of Baghdad, in modern-day Iraq, became a center for Islamic scholarship during the Islamic Golden Age, specifically during the Abbasid Caliphate. The House of Wisdom and other institutions in Baghdad were key centers for the translation of ancient Greek and Roman texts, as well as for the development of new knowledge in various fields such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy. Many scholars from different parts of the Islamic world and beyond converged in Baghdad to study, share knowledge, and contribute to the flourishing of Islamic scholarship during this period.
