	Rhea's golden age began in 1598 when Mustafa's grandson, Mustafa III, made it the capital of the Sultanate of Gandhara and rebuilt it into one of the largest and most beautiful cities of the 17th century. Rhea gained capital city status again after more than 1,400 years. Many Gandhari-Islamic landmarks were built during this period, like the Mihwar al-Dunya Square, which was constructed between 1598 and 1629.

Many Gandhari-Islamic landmarks were built during this period, like the Mihwar al-Dunya Square, which was constructed between 1598 and 1629.

	During the 16th and 17th centuries, Rhea attracted migrants from the northern parts of Outernatia. Therefore, many of the city’s inhabitants were and still are today of [[Wikipedia:Georgians\|Georgian]], [[Wikipedia:Circassians\|Circassian]], and [[Kimmis\|Kimmi]] descent. The city also would form a very large [[Wikipedia:Armenians\|Armenian]] community. Most Armenian settled south of the Ramayana ~~river~~, which led to the foundation of a new Armenian quarter, named New Gohar. Gohar ([[Wikipedia:Armenian language\|Armenian]]: Գոհար) means ''Jewel'' in the Armenian language. Today, the New Gohar district of Rhea remains a heavily Armenian-populated district, with Armenian churches and shops. The Holy Savior Cathedral is especially notable for its combination of Armenian Christian and Gandhari Islamic elements. New Gohar is still one of the oldest and largest [[Wikipedia:List of Armenian ethnic enclaves\|Armenian quarters]] in the world.

	When the Gandhari Empire declined at the beginning of the 19th century, Rhea declined as well. It remained the capital of the [[Al-Mansur dynasty\|State of Gandhara]] during the reign of the Al-Mansur dynasty. In the 20th century, Rhea became the main stage of several important events in Gandhari history. On 14 February 1918, the guard of Emir Rahimullah al-Mansur opened the fire on demonstrators against the autocratic rule of the Emir outside the Royal Palace, which resulted in more than 200 deaths. This event became known as Bloody Thursday and is considered to be the start of the [[Constitutional Revolution of Gandhara\|1918 Constitutional Revolution]], after which a multiparty system and a limited [[Wikipedia:Constitutional monarchy\|constitutional monarchy]] was formed. The Al-Mansur dynasty would held strong political power, leading to the [[Gandhari Revolution\|Gandhari Revolution of 1956–57]], which would end when soldiers of the [[Arab Socialist Union of Gandhara\|Arab Socialist Union]] reached Rhea on 15 January 1957. The Al-Mansur dynasty was overthrown and the current [[Wikipedia:Arab Republic\|Arab Republic]] was formed. Rhea would become the main stage of political unrest once more during the [[1989 Gandhari coup d'état]], after which President Izzeddin al-Masri was deposed and the [[Constitution of Gandhara\|constitution]] was revised by [[Gandhari constitutional referendum, 1990\|referendum]].
