EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty of Palmyra, Syria's ancient ruins, with a focus on the Tetrapylon and the hilltop Arab Castle in the background. The Tetrapylon, a grand colonnade with four arches, once stood as the main entrance to the Palmyra's sacred precinct. Its intricately carved columns, each adorned with intricate friezes and capitals, bear witness to the grandeur of this ancient civilization. In the distance, the hilltop Fakhr-al-Din al-Maani Castle adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The castle, built in the 13th century, served as a symbol of power and protection for the rulers of Palmyra. The ruins of Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, have endured the test of time, but have faced significant damage and destruction in recent years due to conflict and war. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history and archaeological significance of this ancient civilization.
