Ishtar Gate

Enormous burnt-brick double entryway built in the ancient city of Babylon c. 575 BC. The gate was more than 38 ft (12 m) high and was decorated with glazed brick reliefs. Through the gatehouse ran the stone- and brick-paved Processional Way. Some 120 brick lions lined the street and some 575 dragons and bulls, in 13 rows, adorned the gate.
