Ceiling Detail in the Aleppo Citadel

The Citadel of Aleppo is the most prominent historic architectural site in Aleppo. It was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. Its majestic stature forms the center of the city; in fact the city wraps around it extending a spider-like infrastructural web of streets forming the city's organic urban form.

The surrounding area is otherwise as flat as possible. One can read that this hill is possibly the result of several thousands years of past civilizations building on top of each other but there are also other explications.
