Baghdad is home to eleven churches ("Baghdad"). Not a very high number, but an improvement over the six in 1909 ( Duri 907). One of the eleven churches in Baghdad. These churches are marked on the map in plain white letters simply as "Church."Although Baghdad is predominately Shi'ite, Christian (as well as Sunnis and Jews) are able to find a home. Two largely Christian neighborhoods are Dora and Karrada.The locations of these churches are according to a United States Government National Imagery and Mapping Agency map entitled "Baghdad" found in the sources.All mosques are not shown because there are too many to be shown. By 1882 there were 82 mosques in Baghdad (Duri 907).See Also: Dora, and KarradaSources:"Baghdad." United States Government: National Imagery and Mapping Agency. Map. 2003. 24 Nov. 06 Duri, A. A.
