🎧 Listen to Introduction

Hatra was a large fortified city, influenced by the Parthian Empire and the capital of the first Arab kingdom. With its high, thick walls and fortified towers, the city of Hatra resisted Roman invasions in 116 and 198 AD. The remains of the city, especially the temples, which combine Greek and Roman architectural styles with oriental decorative features, testify to the greatness of its civilization.
