The city is considered the second-largest city in Iraq, by population and area, after the capital, Baghdad. Mosul lies approximately 400 km north of Baghdad on the Tigris River. The Mosul metro area has grown from the old city on the western side to encompass substantial areas on both the "Left Bank" and the "Right Bank", as locals call the two respective sides of the Tigris. The city encloses the ruins of the ancient Assyrian city of Nineveh – once the largest city in the world – on its east side.
