Unesco: Ancient City of Damascus

Curated by ACT

Damascus in Syria was founded in the third millennium BC. Its long history reveals the influences of many ancient civilizations, most particularly the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Islamic civilizations. This World Heritage website features many photos of its architectural treasures, maps, documents, a video on its history and significance, and a Syrian State of Conservation report on its recent condition given the armed conflict in Syria.
