RUINS AND OTHER HISTORICAL SITES of AMEDIYA ~ Duhok south of Kurdistan

Amediya is a small and beautiful town that is perched on the plateau at the top of a mountain. It is situated 90 kilometers northeast of Duhok City. It was built over 1000 years ago and is still home to 5000 inhabitants today. Many of the houses are still built with elements of the original stonework and are arranged in a ring shape in the form of a Citadel. There are many ancient sites inside the town, such as an ancient mosque that is still in use by the townspeople and the Old Gate of the town that was used for centuries before the car-friendly road was built into the town. The Minaret, the Dome, and the Zoroastrian’s Gate are also worth a visit.
