Lonely Planet review for Babylon
Babylon, perhaps the most famous of Iraq's ancient sites, was most prominent during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II (605-563 BC). With its high walls and magnificent palaces and temples, it was regarded as one of the world's most beautiful cities. Now, all that remains of the ruins of Babylon is a huge and magnificent lion, eroded by time and the weather.
