Towering above the city, the citadel has dominated Aleppo since many centuries. Easy to visit now, it was a formidable obstacle to invaders in the Middle Ages.
Just before reaching the exit of this castle and reaching the inside of the citadel, you can enter a small door and climb up to the Byzantine Hall and the Royal Palace. The latter has been restored completely and especially its wooden ceiling is radiating beauty from above. It is a pity you are not allowed to walk right under it to have a better view. Once outside, you can walk around the citadel, which for a large part lies in ruins. There are two mosques (one of which on the spot where Abraham is said to have milked a cow). The main attraction of the citadel is the magnificent view of the Aleppo and its surroundings.
