Belief in a Golden Age 鈥� the Beauty of Baghdad

Baghdad's role in Muslim history and its historic legacy for the world

A journey back 1,200 years to when Baghdad was at its high point, a "blessed moment in world history when everything seemed to go right".
The first programme focuses on the city's role in Muslim history and the Muslim imagination, and how the city's daily life then has left a lasting legacy for our own time.
Presented by Francis Spufford.
