Aleppo (Syria)

Aleppo is one of Syria's largest and oldest cities, with a history dating back thousands of years. It was a major trade center in the region, known for its rich culture, architecture, and historical sites, including the ancient Aleppo Citadel. Unfortunately, during the Syrian civil war starting in 2011, Aleppo faced severe destruction and humanitarian crises, suffering extensive damage from conflict. The city is slowly recovering, but challenges remain. Aleppo symbolizes the complexities of Syria’s history, culture, and the impact of war on urban life.
