The ancient city known for its hanging gardens, listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is Babylon. These gardens are said to have been built in the sixth century BCE and attributed to King Nebuchadnezzar II, purportedly to please his wife, who longed for the green hills and valleys of her homeland. Although the gardens' existence and exact location have not been definitively proven, they symbolize the architectural and botanical achievements of the Babylonian civilization. The legend of the hanging gardens continues to fascinate historians and archaeologists, contributing to Babylon's lasting cultural significance in world history.
