Aleppo, A Historic City In Ruins

The Umayyad mosque in the Old City of Aleppo. The historic district, built in the 12th to 16th centuries, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986.

Mosques and other buildings around Aleppo's historic citadel have been reduced to rubble.

The clock tower of Bab al-Faraj Square is still standing, though piles of rubble show nearby damage.
