Nisour Square (Eagles Square) is a roundabout located on the Karkh side west of Baghdad near the Baghdad Tower. It connects several areas: the Al-Qadisiyyah district to the east, Al-Yarmouk to the south, Al-Harithiya to the north, and Al-Mamoun to the west.
The square was established in 1969, and the artist Miran Al-Saadi was commissioned to create and execute the Al-Nisour monument, which still stands in the center of the square.
The monument's location is the same spot where a military pilot landed during the coup on February 8, 1963, after being hit by the air defenses of the Ministry of Defense at that time.
The monument represents two masked and opposing faces looking in all directions, with several eagles on top, symbolizing strength, challenge, and ambition among Iraqis from their ancient civilization until the present day.
Development
editGiven that it is one of the squares experiencing heavy traffic, it was included in the traffic decongestion plan in Baghdad launched by Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani in March 2023. The plan includes constructing a bridge from Mohammed Mahdi Al-Jawahiri Street to Damascus Street, digging a tunnel from Al-Qadisiyyah towards Al-Amirat Street, a tunnel from Jordan Street towards Yafa Street, and another tunnel from Jordan Street towards Damascus Street. This is one of the largest projects in this package, assigned to the Chinese engineering company Transtech, and it will significantly contribute to alleviating the congestion in this square.
Additionally, the Al-Nusour monument will be temporarily moved to Al-Zawra Park until the work is completed.[1]
