	Suleiman the Magnificent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Suleiman was so taken with the city of Jerusalem and its plight (having suffered centuries of neglect under Mameluke rule), that he ordered the construction of a magnificent surrounding fortress-wall that still stands around the Old City.
		Suleiman I (Modern Turkish: Süleyman; Arabic: سليمان Sulaymān) (November 6, 1494 – September 5/6, 1566), was the tenth Osmanli Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, and its longest-serving, reigning from 1520 to 1566.
		Suleiman waged three campaigns against the Safavids; in the earliest, the historically important city of Baghdad fell to his forces in 1534, and the city, once the most populous in the Middle East, fell into decline, eclipsed by the growing population and wealth of the Sultan's Istanbul.
