Aleppo, Syria

Displayed:   times.

It is the second largest city in Syria. Aleppo has fascinating covered souqs, citadel, museum and khans (caravanserais), it's a great place to spend a few days. The citadel dominates the city at the eastern end of the souqs. The citadel's exterior has a moat, spanned by a bridge leading to the 12th-century fortified gate, while inside are mostly ruins apart from the restored throne. The only surviving buildings from the original citadel are a small 12th-century mosque and the 13th-century great mosque.
