Khawarnaq was a medieval, pre-Islamic Arab castle built by the Lakhmids near their capital al-Hira. It is celebrated in the Arabic-Islamic literature and poetry as one of the "Thirty Wonders of the World". It is described in both Arabic and Persian sources, but "it seems quite impossible to distinguish clearly between historical facts and legendary accounts".
