the ancient city of babylon
the hanging gardens of babylon were one of the seven wonders of the ancient world as listed by hellenic culture, described as a remarkable feat of engineering with an ascending series of tiered gardens containing a wide variety of trees, shrubs, and vines, resembling a large green mountain constructed of mud bricks, and said to have been built in the ancient city of babylon, near present-day hillah, babil province, in iraq. its name is derived from the greek word "kremastós" (κρεμαστός, lit. "overhanging"), which has a broader meaning than the modern english word "hanging" and refers to trees being planted on a raised structure such as a terrace.
