EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bridge access to the ancient Citadel of Aleppo, Syria, dating back to the 13th century. The Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a magnificent medieval fortress and palace complex that dominates the old city skyline. The large arched bridge, with its intricate stonework and worn edges, serves as the gateway to this historical site, inviting visitors to step back in time and explore the rich history and culture of Aleppo. The Citadel, built during the Ayyubid period, has undergone various renovations and additions throughout the centuries, reflecting the diverse influences of its many rulers. The site's defensive walls and towers, as well as its mosques, churches, and palaces, tell the story of Aleppo's complex and storied past. The photograph, taken circa 1930s, offers a glimpse into a time when the Citadel still stood proud and unscathed, a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of this ancient city. Today, the Citadel and the old city of Aleppo continue to captivate visitors from around the world, inspiring awe and wonder at the rich history and cultural heritage that lies within its walls.
