Hanging Gardens of Babylon - one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A more correct name for this construction - Hanging Gardens Amitis: it was the name of the wife of the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II, for which the gardens were created. Presumably located in the ancient state of Babylon, near the modern town of Hilla. According to an alternative version, based on re-deciphering cuneiform tablets could be in Nineveh, the capital of the kingdom of Assyria, and were built in the VII century BC
