The citadel stands on an artificial mound 130 feet high located on a plateau across the Khasa River . The mound, or tell , is believed to have been built by King Ashurnasirpal II between 884 and 858 BCE as a military defence line of Arrapha . Later King Sluks built a strong Defensive wall rampart with 72 towers around the 72 streets and the two entries to the citadel. A jewel of the citadel is the so called Red Church , with traces of pre Muslim mosaics. It is believed that Timur visited the citadel in 1393 during his military expedition. The modern walls go back to the Ottoman Empire Ottoman period. In the 1990s, Saddam Hussein , the former Iraq i president, announced a campaign to beautify the walled citadel. Some believe that the campaign s intention was to remove the 800 900 mostly Iraqi Turkmen Turkmen and Kurdish people Kurdish families living in its ancient houses. The citadel is considered by Iraqi Turkmen Turkmen as an important factor in their history. There are several Iraqi Turkmen Turkmen neighbourhoods within and around the citadel , such as Topkapi, Helvacilar, Hamam, Agalik, Yedi Kizlar, and Zindan.
