Church of St Ith Llaha

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:33:02

Across the road from the University of Dohuk, this domed church is believed to have been built in 500 AD, making it the oldest church in the Dohuk governorate. A rebuild in 1999 gave it a more modern architectural style, however, so it retains very few of its original characteristics. The friendly church guardian is keen to show visitors around and explain a bit about its history. The view of the city from atop the small hill is lovely.
