The House of Wisdom, founded in Baghdad, Iraq, is considered one of the most important intellectual centres in the Medieval Age. Scientists from all over the world flocked to it during the Islamic Golden Age. At that time, Baghdad became the world’s richest city and a centre of intellectual development. Among the House of Wisdom’s scholars was Al-Khawarizmi, known as the father of algebra.
