Ramadi
Instead, writing from what the sources actually attest: Ramadi, the capital of Iraq's Al Anbar Governorate, sits on the Euphrates west of Baghdad and has long served as a trade hub on the road connecting Iraq with Syria and Jordan. Founded in 1879 during the Ottoman period, the city holds ancient archaeological sites and carries a layered modern history shaped by its strategic position, including heavy damage during the Iraq War and a period of ISIL control before Iraqi government forces reclaimed it in late 2015.
