    Aleppo Citadel is beautiful, as you approach it, its so huge, and the walkway up to it from the cafe lined street looks like a bridge leading to a castle. Once you are inside the Citadel itself there isnt much to see of the building in my opinion, but climb up onto those walls or look through the holes in walls and you will get one amazing view across the city.

    The view from the citadel is spectacular! As you can see from the pic on the front page - we sat for ages spotting the mosques and watching the city live and breath.

    The throne room above the monumental gateway of the citadel is the most beautiful room in Aleppo. Originally built in the 15th century, it was restored in the 1970s. The throne room is on the second floor of the monumetal gateway. It measures 30 square meters. An octagon is raised in the center of the flat ceiling to allow light through the twenty-four stained glass windows. The ceiling is finished with carved and painted woodwork and plaster.

    The Qala Mosque, also known as the Great Mosque of the Citadel, was built in 1214, during the Ayyubid period. It is at the top of a flight of steps, at the northern end of the Citadel.

    The early 13th century Ayyubid Palace is one of the most beautiful structures inside the citadel. It was built as the palace for Sultan al-Zahir al-Ghazi of Aleppo (1186-1216). Although much of the original palace has been destroyed, the impressive main entrance portal remains.

    There is a large hammam inside the Citadel, but it is no longer in use. It was built in the 13th century at around the same time as the Ayyubid Palace. It has been restored and its glass-studded domes are one of the most impressive sights you will see in the Citadel.

    Aleppo has one too of course! This one is a little bit different though than many others as it was never taken by force in it's history. When you see it, you can understand how that would be possible. Built on a hill and surrounded by a moat, any force trying to take it would be easily picked off by those inside the citadel. Eventually, the citadel was taken in a very sly way. Under a flag of peace, hostile forces waited until they were inside the citadel and then raised their weapons and took over the citadel.
