Ziggurat of Ur
The Ziggurat of Ur is a great stepped temple tower at the ancient city of Ur in southern Iraq, dedicated to the moon god Nanna. It was built by Ur-Nammu and completed by his son Shulgi in the twenty-first century BCE. Partially restored in modern times, it is one of the best-preserved ziggurats and a lasting monument of the Neo-Sumerian Empire.
