Arbil (also written Erbil, or Arbela, wrongly Irbil) (Kurdish: , Hewlêr, anglicized Hawler; ) is the fourth largest city in Iraq after Baghdad, Basra and Mosul. The city lies eighty kilometres (fifty miles) east of Mosul, and is the capital of Kurdistan Autonomous Region.

Urban life at Arbil can be dated back to at least the twenty-third century BC. The city has been under the rule of many regional powers during that time, such as the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Sasanians, Arabs, and Ottomans. The city's archaeological museum contains mostly pre-Islamic artifacts, but is a center for archaeological projects in the area.
