SYRIA IMAGE GALLERY
From well before the Romans, through the Crusades and to the present day Arab Republic, Syria has been the home of various civilisations since 2500 BC. The ancient ruins of Palmyra and Apamea are among the best-persevered Roman cities in the world.
The Crusader Castle - The Krak Des Chevaliers is the best-kept fortress of its kind, and the historic city of Damascus, with its stunning mosques and markets, is the oldest continually habited city on Earth.
This gallery also explores the cities of Aleppo and Hama with their souqs and citadels and the off-the-beaten-track Bedouin villages with their unique Beehive Homes. |
