Hello!

The Ishtar Gate was built by Nebuchadnezzar II in 575 B.C. It was one of the 8 doors located in the city inner wall of Babylon.

The door has a large size, since it is 10 meters high by 14 meters wide, and it is made of adobe covered with blue glazed ceramic. It was decorated by numerous golden reliefs, which represented lions, dragons and bulls.

Currently, the Ishtar gate is displayed in the Pergamo Museum, in Berlin (Germany).
