The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are considered to be one of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They were built in the ancient Babylon, near present-day Iraq. The gardens were supposedly built by the Babylonian king around 600 BC. He is reported to have constructed the gardens to please his homesick wife, who longed for the trees and fragrant plants of her homeland Persia. The gardens were destroyed by several earthquakes after the second century BC. Through the ages, the location may have been confused with gardens that existed at Nineveh, since tablets from there clearly show gardens.
Though the monument was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, only foundations and sculptural fragments of the temple remain. There were previous temples on its site, where evidence of a sanctuary dates as early as the Bronze Age.
