U.S. Embassy, Baghdad : ウィキペディア英語版
Embassy of the United States, Baghdad

The Embassy of the United States of America in Baghdad is the diplomatic mission of United States of America in the Republic of Iraq. At , it is the largest and most expensive embassy in the world, and is nearly as large as Vatican City. Ambassador Stuart E. Jones is currently the Chief of Mission.
The embassy complex employs 15,000 people and cost $750 million to build. The Embassy opened in January 2009 following a series of construction delays. It replaced the previous embassy, which opened July 1, 2004 in Baghdad's Green Zone in a former Palace of Saddam Hussein.〔("New US embassy opens in Baghdad The compound" ) BBC News (January 5, 2009)〕
==Old embassy==
The United States' Legation Baghdad was changed to embassy status in 1946. The building was designed by Josep Lluís Sert in 1955 and completed about 1961, with its main priority on keeping the building cool rather than security.〔(''Wall Street Journal'' ), "Embassy in a Box: U.S. diplomatic architecture is increasingly dull"〕 This building remained the embassy until 1967, after the Six-Day War. The U.S. Interests Section was moved to the Belgian embassy in 1972; in 1984 this was upgraded to embassy status following the resumption of U.S.-Iraqi ties. Just days before the Gulf War, the embassy closed. The U.S. Interests Section was opened at the Polish embassy in 1991. The old embassy is now apparently deserted and for rent.
