The House of Wisdom was a multi-faceted institute created Baghdad, Iraq founded by Harun al-Rashid. It was a major center of intellectualism at the height of the Islamic Golden Age in the 9th to 13th centuries, acting as a school, a place of translation and a library that housed one of the largest holds of books in the world. It was unfortunately destroyed during the Mongol Siege of Baghdad in 1258.
