Hadda, Afghanistan

Haḍḍa (Pashto: هډه) is a Greco-Buddhist archeological site located ten kilometers south of the city of Jalalabad, in the Nangarhar Province of eastern Afghanistan. Hadda is said to have been almost entirely destroyed in the fighting during the civil war in Afghanistan. In early 1980, three independent sources reported that a 2nd century B.C. Buddha statue and other antiquities were destroyed in a museum at Hadda.
