The ancient city that was home to the Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is Babylon. This city was located in modern-day Iraq and around the 6th century BC, it was renowned for its magnificent gardens, reportedly built by King Nebuchadnezzar II for his wife, who missed the greenery of her homeland. While the gardens themselves remain a topic of debate regarding their actual existence and location, they symbolize the architectural and cultural achievements of Babylonian civilization and the ancient world’s fascination with beauty and ingenuity.
