Amedi

The Kurdish town of Amedi in Northern Iraq is located 'in the sky' on the top of a flat mountain. From here there is a breathtaking view over the great Sapna Valley as well as over thousands of years of history. A number of sites like the Parthian Rock Pictures, the Medrese, the Grand Mosque and the Mosul Gate tell amazing stories about the town and about Kurdistan as well. Too many war makers have haunted the people of Amedi, but despite of this, a deep-rooted spirit of peaceful coexistence lives on. Amedi is inscribed on the Iraqi tentative UNESCO List.
