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.
Walking down the streets in the old part of Aleppo, you turn a corner and your eye is struck by a walled structure on what looks like a hill. As you come closer, it seems that the hill is always higher. When you reach the road that runs around the citadel, the moat opens up under you and the walls of the citadel seem massive. A steep bridge on the Southern side of the citadel leads to a tower with high doors, which once was the first defensive line against intruders. Now, this is where you buy your ticket.
