Ancient Aleppo, located in Aleppo, Syria, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with a history that spans over 4,000 years. The city has been a crucial cultural and commercial hub due to its strategic position along the Silk Road. Noteworthy landmarks include the Citadel of Aleppo, a massive medieval fortress that dominates the city's skyline, and the Great Mosque of Aleppo, also known as the Umayyad Mosque, which dates back to the 8th century. Aleppo's ancient souks, or bazaars, were once bustling centers of trade, known for their labyrinthine alleyways and vibrant commerce.
