Syria - Ancient City of Aleppo

"Located at the crossroads of several trade routes from the 2nd millennium B.C., Aleppo was ruled successively by the Hittites, Assyrians, Arabs, Mongols, Mamelukes and Ottomans. The 13th-century citadel, 12th-century Great Mosque and various 17th-century madrasas, palaces, caravanserais and hammams all form part of the city's cohesive, unique urban fabric, now threatened by overpopulation.”

The Aleppo Citadel located on the top of the mound in the middle of Aleppo city is one of the oldest and largest castle in the world. What an amazing aerial view. Thanks to Farah of Rgypt who was visiting Syria.
