Ebla:
The site also known under the name of Tell Mardikh, dates back
to the 4th millenium BC. Temples and three palaces where built.
Ebla became politically weaker during the Assyrian domination
and in 1625 BC, and the Hittites ravaged it. Ebla never
recovered. Little by little its inhabitants deserted the town
and it fell into oblivion.
Dead City:
An extraordinary site: 700 towns spread over a perimeter of 2
000 Km2. To qualify them as "dead" seems displaced when one
contemplates them today. It seems, in fact, as if their
inhabitants have just left the site, so much the conservation is
exceptional, thanks to the quality of the stone. From the 1st to
6th centuries, the region distinguished itself by its olivaries.
Qalb Lawzi:
Situated 65 km west
of Aleppo, is the beautiful church at Qalb Lozeh. This basilica
dating back to the 5th century is located in the small village
of Qalb Lozeh (one of the dead cities) meaning 'Heart of the
Almond', and is one of the most beautiful basilicas in Syria and
is a masterpiece of Syrian Byzantine art.
