قشلا زاخۆ

Zakho Castle, located on the western side of the Zakho River, is one of the most significant landmarks in the city of Zakho. The castle was constructed during the Islamic period and was later attacked by the Mongol tribe (Ghaz) in 1045. It was ruled by the princes of Badinan until 1909. There are several artistic manifestations of the construction of this castle, but unfortunately, it was destroyed by the Iraqi royal authority. Several buildings were later constructed to accommodate the Ottomans.
