EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph takes us back in time to 1931, offering a unique perspective of Aleppo, Syria. The image showcases the majestic Citadel of Aleppo, standing proudly amidst the city's ancient landscape. With its strategic location on key trade routes through North Syria, Aleppo has long been recognized as one of the most historically significant cities in the world. Formerly known as Halab, this UNESCO World Heritage Site holds immense cultural and architectural value. Its rich history can be traced back thousands of years, with influences from various civilizations that have left their mark on its streets and buildings. The photograph allows us to appreciate the grandeur and scale of the Citadel from above. Perched atop a hill overlooking Aleppo, it served as a fortress throughout centuries past. Today, it stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Historic England Archive's Aerofilms Collection, we are transported not only to an era gone by but also reminded of the importance of preserving our shared heritage for future generations. This image captures both the beauty and historical significance that make Aleppo such an extraordinary place in our global narrative.
