Nineveh Plain

The Nineveh Plain is a fertile region in northern Iraq, historically inhabited by diverse ethnic and Christian communities, including Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Syriacs. It lies east of Mosul and has a rich cultural and religious heritage. The area is significant for its ancient archaeological sites and has been a center of Christian life for centuries. In recent years, it faced threats from conflict, particularly during ISIS advances, leading to displacement and destruction of communities. Efforts are ongoing to rebuild and preserve the region’s cultural identity, making it a symbol of resilience for its diverse populations.
