Abstract

The research aims to shed light on one of the natural features and the features located below the wall of the city of Mosul, close to the Citadel of Mosul (Bashtabiya), which is Ain kebreet , which represents a natural spring of cold sulfur water that has existed since ancient, unspecified periods and is still present until now. The importance of the research is highlighted in the absence of an independent study that mentioned it except for some scattered articles on Facebook pages and a brief mention of it in some references related to the city of Mosul. The researcher's attempt in this research comes to collect the fragments of the texts that mentioned Ain kebreet, in which the eye was mentioned in the form of Ain kebreetiya, especially the historical and country sources. As for the research methodology, it relied on the researcher's attempt to investigate the texts related to this sulfur eye and to reinforce the gaps contained in the texts with some of the opinions presented by the authors because of their importance in explaining what is related to this eye, whether their products represent books, research, or articles published in magazines or on Facebook pages. In a digital format, the research was divided into an introduction, eleven topics, and a conclusion, as well as some pictures and maps related to it.
