Description
Iraq's Minister of Culture, Tourism, and Antiquities visits the 1,400-year-old Arch of Ctesiphon, the world's largest brick-built arch, as it undergoes restoration work as part of efforts to return it to its former splendour. The famed sixth-century monument, located around 30 kilometres (20 miles) south of the capital Baghdad, is the last structure still standing from the ancient Persian imperial capital Ctesiphon.
