Aleppo. Syria. View of the strikingly decorated restored twelfth century entrance to the Ayyubid Palace within the Citadel. Situated on a 55 meters high mound that has had different forms of defences for at least two thousand years, the impressive Citadel dominates the centre of Aleppo and is the city’s most spectacular sight. The fortifications and mosques and palaces inside the citadel are largely from the 12th and 13th centuries and whole complex is considered a masterpiece of Arab and medieval military architecture. Aleppo is Syria’s second largest city and it is said to be among the oldest continuously populated cities in the world.
