It flourished during the kingdom of Nabucodonosor II (605-562 B.C) and was conquered by Alexander Magno in 331 B.C. Its habitants emigrated or were exiled by the year 275 B.C.

With the time the town of Al Hillah grew with the ruins of the old city and in the XX century part of its walls and edifications were reconstructed by the government of Saddam Hussein.
