                   Burs is situated almost 15 km southwards the city of Hilla. Its scaled tower is a high
                   mark on the Hilla- Kifl road. Its present name (Burs) is derived from its Babylonian
                   ancient name (Bursia), a Sumerian word which means "Sea sword" or "Sea horn" as it
                   had been situated on a stream or a lake.
