Ishtar Gate
The Ishtar Gate was a monumental gateway to the inner city of Babylon, built under Nebuchadnezzar II and dedicated to the goddess Ishtar. It was faced with blue glazed bricks decorated with dragons, bulls and lions. A reconstruction stands in Berlin, and it is one of the best-known monuments of the Chaldean Empire.
