Burnt Palace at Kalhu

The Burnt Palace, which was destroyed by fire when Kalhu fell to anti-Assyrian Babylonian and Median forces in 612 BC, has the longest building sequence yet identified at Nimrud (biblical Calah). This royal residence, which was constructed in the southeast quarter of the citadel, had at least nine phases of occupation between the Middle Assyrian and Hellenistic Periods. The so-called Burnt Palace was rebuilt/renovated three times during the ninth to seventh centuries BC and it might have temporarily served as a royal residence during the reign of Sargon II (r. 721–705 BC), while that Assyrian king was building his new capital Dūr-Šarrukīn. An immense collection of burnt ivories (the ‘Loftus ivories’) was discovered in and near the throne room in 1954–55; these are now in the British Museum (London).

Central Building at Kalhu

Near the middle of the citadel of Kalhu (biblical Calah, modern Nimrud), the ninth-century-BC Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II (r. 883–859 BC) constructed a building with a grand, south-facing entrance. This building, constructed east of the southeast corner of the Northwest Palace, might have been one of the temples built by Ashurnasirpal II when he made Kalhu the administrative capital of the Assyrian Empire. Alternatively, the Central Building might have served as a palace.

Central Palace at Kalhu

The eighth-century-BC Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser III (r. 744–727 BC) built himself a grand, ornately-decorated royal residence at Kalhu (biblical Calah, modern Nimrud). This (large) palatial complex, which included a pillared-portico (a bīt-ḫilāni), was constructed south of the Northwest Palace (built by Ashurnasirpal II [r. 883–859 BC]). The “Cedar Palace” (as it is referred to in at least one contemporary Akkadian inscription) was largely dismantled by the seventh-century-BC ruler Esarhaddon (r. 680–669 BC), who had its (sculpted and inscribed) limestone slabs reused in his own royal residence (the Southwest Palace). The building is now generally referred to as the “Central Palace,” a modern designation given to it by its excavators since the palace was constructed in the central part of the Kalhu citadel.

Eastern Outer Wall of Babylon

The Neo-Babylonian ruler Nabopolassar (r. 625–605 BC) started planning and constructing an outer wall around the eastern side of Babylon. This massive mudbrick brick wall, together with its protective quay wall and a wide moat, remained unfinished at the time of Nabopolassar’s death. His son and successor Nebuchadnezzar II (r. 604–562 BC) finished the work started by his father. Traces of Babylon’s once-impressive eastern outer wall are still visible today.

Governor's Palace at Kalhu

This beautifully-decorated Assyrian palace is located just north of the Nabû temple Ezida, in the southeast quarter of the citadel of Kalhu (biblical Calah, modern Nimrud). The building likely served as the office and/or residence of several important individuals in the administration of the Assyrian Empire, probably including the governor of Kalhu. Numerous cuneiform tablets were discovered in three rooms north of the central courtyard. Because many of those Akkadian texts relate to the activities of several governors, British excavators in the 1950s dubbed the building the "Governor's Palace."

Burnt Palace at Kalhu

The Burnt Palace, which was destroyed by fire when Kalhu fell to anti-Assyrian Babylonian and Median forces in 612 BC, has the longest building sequence yet identified at Nimrud (biblical Calah). This royal residence, which was constructed in the southeast quarter of the citadel, had at least nine phases of occupation between the Middle Assyrian and Hellenistic Periods. The so-called Burnt Palace was rebuilt/renovated three times during the ninth to seventh centuries BC and it might have temporarily served as a royal residence during the reign of Sargon II (r. 721–705 BC), while that Assyrian king was building his new capital Dūr-Šarrukīn. An immense collection of burnt ivories (the ‘Loftus ivories’) was discovered in and near the throne room in 1954–55; these are now in the British Museum (London).

Central Palace at Kalhu

The eighth-century-BC Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser III (r. 744–727 BC) built himself a grand, ornately-decorated royal residence at Kalhu (biblical Calah, modern Nimrud). This (large) palatial complex, which included a pillared-portico (a bīt-ḫilāni), was constructed south of the Northwest Palace (built by Ashurnasirpal II [r. 883–859 BC]). The “Cedar Palace” (as it is referred to in at least one contemporary Akkadian inscription) was largely dismantled by the seventh-century-BC ruler Esarhaddon (r. 680–669 BC), who had its (sculpted and inscribed) limestone slabs reused in his own royal residence (the Southwest Palace). The building is now generally referred to as the “Central Palace,” a modern designation given to it by its excavators since the palace was constructed in the central part of the Kalhu citadel.

Dur-Sharrukin

Dūr-Šarrukīn (“Fort Sargon”), modern Khorsabad, became the capital of the Assyrian Empire during the reign of the eighth-century-BC ruler Sargon II (r. 721–705 BC). According to the Assyrian Eponym Chronicle, the foundations of the city were laid in 717 BC and the city itself was completed in early 706 BC, one year before Sargon was killed on the battlefield. Sargon’s newly-constructed, rectangular-shaped capital, which he modelled on the general plan on Babylon, was abandoned upon his death in 705 BC; his son and successor Sennacherib (r. 704–681 BC) made Nineveh Assyria’s principal administrative center.

Fort Shalmaneser

The ninth-century-BC Assyrian king Shalmaneser III (r. 858–824 BC) constructed an impressive palatial complex in the southeastern corner of the city Kalhu (biblical Calah). This armory, which the seventh-century-BC ruler Esarhaddon (r. 680–669 BC) referred to as an ēkal māšarti (‘review palace’), was completed ca. 846 BC. Fort Shalmaneser, the name of building dubbed by its excavators, remained in use until the very end of the Assyrian Empire (612 BC), although its importance was significantly diminished after the Assyrian court moved away from Kalhu at the end of the eighth century BC, first to Dūr-Šarrukīn and then to Nineveh.

Governor's Palace at Kalhu

This beautifully-decorated Assyrian palace is located just north of the Nabû temple Ezida, in the southeast quarter of the citadel of Kalhu (biblical Calah, modern Nimrud). The building likely served as the office and/or residence of several important individuals in the administration of the Assyrian Empire, probably including the governor of Kalhu. Numerous cuneiform tablets were discovered in three rooms north of the central courtyard. Because many of those Akkadian texts relate to the activities of several governors, British excavators in the 1950s dubbed the building the "Governor's Palace."

Nimrud

In the ninth century BC, Ashurnasirpal II (r. 883-859 BC) built himself a new administrative center. Kalhu (biblical Calah) — modern Nimrud, a site identified as Larissa, a city mentioned in Xenophon’s Anabasis — became the capital of the Assyrian Empire, replacing Ashur, which had served as Assyria’s capital since the third millennium BC. The city — which is located twenty miles south of the modern Mosul and which occupied a strategic position six miles north of the point where the Tigris River meets the Greater/Upper Zab — served as Assyria’s capital until the reign of Sargon II (r. 721–705 BC). Although Kalhu never again became the primary residence of Assyria’s kings, that city remained a vital administrative, military, and religious center until the fall of the Assyrian Empire.

North Palace at Babylon

The Neo-Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II (r. 604–562 BC) constructed a new royal residence for himself at Babylon. This grand palace was constructed north of the so-called “South Palace,” the traditional royal residence of the kings of Babylon. The building, which is referred to as the “new palace” (ēkallu eššu) in Achaemenid-period texts, is generally called the “North Palace,” “Nordburg,” and “New Palace.”

Northwest Palace at Kalhu

An impressive and ornately-decorated palace constructed at Kalḫu (modern Nimrud, biblical Calah) by the ninth-century-BC Assyrian ruler Ashurnasirpal II (r. 883–859 BC), likely completed between 865 and 869 BC. This multi-winged palatial complex served as the primary residence and chief administrative center of the Assyrian Empire until Sargon II (r. 721–705 BC) moved the imperial capital to Dūr-Šarrukīn in 706 BC. The Northwest Palace, the name given to it by its excavators (since it was built in the northwestern part of Kalḫu’s citadel), remained in use until the very end of the Assyrian Empire (612 BC). The southern half of the building also functioned as the burial place of prominent royal women, including Mullissu-mukannišat-Ninua, the wife of Ashurnasirpal and the mother of Shalmaneser III.

Shalmaneser Gate

The “Shalmaneser Gate” gave access from the lower town of Kalhu to the citadel. This entrance, which was flanked by a pair of inscribed stone lions, was located on the east citadel wall, just north of the Nabû temple Ezida. This gate, which its excavators named after the ninth-century-BC Assyrian ruler Shalmaneser III (r. 858–824 BC), is assumed to have been the main east citadel gate, especially since a road ran between it and the armory (Fort Shalmaneser) located in the southwest corner of the city.

Southwest Palace at Kalhu

The seventh-century-BC Assyrian king Esarhaddon (r. 680–669 BC) started building a royal residence in the southwest corner of the citadel of Kalhu (biblical Calah, modern Nimrud). Sculpted and inscribed limestone slabs from the Central Palace (constructed by Tiglath-pileser III [r. 744–727 BC]) and the Northwest Palace (built by Ashurnasirpal II [r. 883–859 BC]) were used as building materials for this royal residence, which very likely remained unfinished at the time of Esarhaddon’s death in 669 BC. Its excavators called it the “Southwest Palace” since it was located in the southwest corner of the citadel.
