Bosra, Archaeological site in Daraa, Syria
The ancient city of Bosra features a complete Roman theater contained within a medieval fortress constructed from black basalt stone.
The settlement evolved from a Nabataean trading post into the capital of the Roman province of Arabia, maintaining its commercial importance until Islamic rule.
The architectural elements of Bosra demonstrate the transition between Roman, Byzantine, and early Islamic periods through its theaters, churches, and mosques.
The archaeological site extends over 116 hectares and requires special permits for access to certain areas due to preservation measures.
The Roman theater, built in the second century, retains its original structure with seating for 15,000 people and complete stage buildings.
