Ishtar Gate, enormous burnt-brick entryway located over the main thoroughfare in the ancient city of Babylon
<h3>What is
Ishtar Gate ?</h3>
The eighth entrance to Babylon's inner city was the Ishtar Gate [citation needed] (in the area of present-day Hillah, Babil Governorate, Iraq). On the north side of the city, it was built around 575 BCE on King Nebuchadnezzar II's orders. It was a portion of the magnificent processional road that was enclosed and led into the city. The walls were finished with glazed bricks, primarily in blue, and at various points, animals and deities were carved out in low relief using bricks that were molded and colored differently.
From 1904 to 1914, the excavation of the site was under the direction of German archaeologist Robert Koldewey.
The smaller gate was rebuilt in the Pergamon Museum following the conclusion of World War I in 1918.
