UNESCO webpage, 28 Apr. 2016 (Erbil Citadel is a fortified settlement on top of an imposing ovoid-shaped tell in the Kurdistan region, Erbil Governorate. A continuous wall of tall 19th-century façades still conveys the visual impression of an impregnable fortress, dominating the city of Erbil. Written and iconographic historical records document the antiquity of settlement on the site--Erbil corresponds to ancient Arbela, an important Assyrian political and religious centre--while archaeological finds and investigations suggest that the mound conceals the levels and remains of previous settlements) Wikipedia, 28 Apr. 2016 (Citadel of Erbil; The Erbil Citadel (Kurdish: Qełay Hewlêr; Arabic: Qalʻat Arbīl) is a tell or occupied mound, and the historical city center of Erbil in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
