Aleppo, Syria. Thousand and One Bazaars
Description
Located at the crossroads of various trade routes since the 2nd millenium B.C., Aleppo was ruled successively by the Hittites, Assyrians, Arabs, Mongols, Mamelukes and Ottomans. Its 13th-century citadel, its 12th-century Great Mosque and various 17th-century madrasas, palaces, caravanserais and hammams give it a cohesive and unique urban fabric, now threatened by overpopulation.
