settlement · 30 BC – 2100 AD

Haḍḍa, a Greco-Buddhist archeological site, is located in the ancient region of Gandhara, near the Khyber Pass, some ten kilometers south of the city of Jalalabad. This major archaeological site from which archaeologists recovered over 23,000 Greco-Buddhist sculptures in the twentieth century is thought to have been destroyed by ongoing military conflict in Afghanistan.
