A very old Town that was gobbled up in the spread of Baghdad. Now a neighborhood of Baghdad, Kazimain is predominately Shi'ite and houses the tombs of Musa al-Kazim and his grandson Muhammad at-Taqi, the seventh and ninth Shia Imams respectively. Today the suburb is a holy place for Shi'ites.Kazimain and its shrines, along with several other parts of Baghdad, suffered great damage during the invasion of the Mongols in 1258 and later from the British in World War I.
