The ancient city of Palmyra was one of the largest in its heydays. Now extensive ruins testify to its grandeur.
The Avenue becomes wider, and on the right hand side you can visit the remains of the Agora, or market square also used for discussions in Greek and Roman style. One stone attests to history with inscriptions in Greek and Palmyrene. Walking on, you can see remains of the Senate, a theater which is largely intact, and several baths one of which is Zenobia's bath, after the famous Palmyrene Queen. Then, at the end of the Avenue you reach the Monumental Arch which is a richly decorared high Arc of Triomph.
