In Sumerian mythology, Eanna was the name of Inanna’s temple complex at Uruk.
Eanna, usually translated as “House of Heaven,” was a major sacred complex in the ancient city of Uruk. It was associated primarily with Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of love, fertility, and war, and also with Anu, the sky god, in different periods of Uruk’s history.
The complex was more than a single shrine. Archaeological excavations reveal successive buildings, courtyards, and ceremonial structures constructed and rebuilt over many centuries. Its remains are among the most important evidence for the development of monumental architecture in southern Mesopotamia.
Eanna is often confused with Ekur, Enlil’s temple at Nippur, or Esagila, the temple of Marduk at Babylon. Those names belong to different cities and divine patrons.
