According to researchers, Izirtu was located near the plat of Ziwiyeh in the modern city of Saqqez in northwestern Iran. Izirtu, like other Manna cities, was surrounded by defensive fortifications. The city had two- and three-story buildings, as well as temples. In 716 BC, Sargon II , the ruler of Assyria, captured and burned Izirtu. However, the city was soon rebuilt. In 650 BC, the Assyrian ruler Ashurbanipal again conquered and destroyed Izirtu.
