Halabja Public Park

One of the oldest and most beautiful places in Halabja.  Built in 1946 and covers an area of 7320 square meters. Halabja Public Garden, which is located in the heart of the city has been an attraction as well as a place of calm and rest for citizens.  Many artistic and cultural activities have been held here and are still being held today.

Until the time of the chemical attack on Halabja, flowers and trees gave the garden a beautiful appearance. The chemical attack on Halabja did not cause the total destruction of the public garden, but the spill of chemical gas over the city dried up and destroyed many of the trees and plants.

In the park you will find a statue of Adila Khanum, the famous Kurdish queen of Halabja, who played a major role in the administrative and social affairs of Halabja in the early nineteenth century along with her husband Wasman Pasha.
