Hatra

Hatra (Persian: هترا‎‎, Arabic: الحضر‎‎ al-Ḥaḍr) was an ancient city in the Ninawa Governorate and al-Jazira region of Iraq. It was known as Hatra in Persian and al-Hadr in Arabic, a name which appears once in ancient inscriptions,[citation needed] and it was in the ancient Persian province of Khvarvaran. The city lies 290 km (180 mi) northwest of Baghdad and 110 km (68 mi) southwest of Mosul.

On 7 March 2015, various sources including Iraqi officials reported that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) had begun demolishing the ruins of Hatra. A video released by ISIL during the next month showed the destruction of the monuments. Hatra was liberated in March 2017.
