    Wadi-al-Salaam Cemetery

    Wadi-al-Salaam Cemetery, located in the city of Najaf, is not only the largest cemetery in central Iraq but also one of the largest in the world, with over 5 million graves. It holds great religious significance due to its high status as mentioned in various narratives. Additionally, its proximity to the holy shrine of Imam Ali (AS) and the fact that many prominent figures are buried there further add to its reputation. (IRNA photos/Akbar Tavakkoli)
