The palace was built for Sennacherib
The palace was built for Sennacherib, renovated and expanded by Esarhaddon (681-669 BC), and renovated again by Ashurbanipal (669-627). It was partly destroyed during the Sack of Nineveh in 612 BC.
Sadly, the barbarians have damaged the site (while they were busy destroying another).
“barbarians…” that’s appropriate to describe them.
