Chaldean Catholic Eparchy of Aqra

The Chaldean Catholic Eparchy of Aqra (also spelled Aqrā or Akra) is an Eastern Catholic eparchy (diocese) of the Chaldean Catholic Church (which uses the East Syriac Rite) in northern Iraq.
It is a suffragan of the Chaldean Catholic Patriarch of Babylon and has its episcopal see in the Iraqi Kurdish city of Aqrah.
History.
The eparchy was established in 1850, on territory split off from the then Chaldean Catholic Eparchy of Amadiyah.
It was suppressed and merged back into its mother church on 23 April 1895, when its eparch acceded to the cathedral throne, but was restored to an independent Eparchy on 24 February 1910.
