After Palmyra, probably the most impressive ruins to be found in Syria, Apamea boasts a great location and has some surprises to be found.
As I got off the microbus, I immediately saw the imposing citadel, rising high above the surroundings. Almost automatically, I started walking up, past the citadel, and further up. This was Qala'at al Mudiq, one of the many castles used in medieval times, and apparently the only one still inhabited today. But I was on my way to Apamea, of which I soon spotted the first columns standing out of the landscape. Although not one column was standing on this highland in the 1930s, serious archeological work has resulted in one of the most impressive restored Roman streets in the Middle East.
