Citadel of Erbil

The Erbil Citadel is a large, fortified mound in the center of Erbil, Iraq, with evidence of continuous human settlement dating back several thousand years. It consists of a raised, roughly oval area surrounded by lower ground and contains layers of buildings from multiple historical periods. The site is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage property and remains an important reference point for understanding the region’s long-term urban development.
