The Ziggurat of Ur is a Neo-Sumerian massive stone structure in what was the city of Ur in present-day Iraq. The ziggurat was a piece in a temple complex that served as an administrative center for the city, and which was a shrine of the moon god Nanna, the patron deity of Ur. Built during the Early Bronze Age, it had crumbled to ruins by the 6th century BCE of the Neo-Babylonian period when it was restored by King Nabonidus.
