Cyrrhus, Archaeological site and mausoleum in Aleppo, Syria
The archaeological complex includes a Roman theater, two bridges spanning the Afrin River, and fortification walls enclosing both upper and lower cities.
Founded around 300 BCE by Seleucus Nicator, Cyrrhus developed into a major military and commercial center along the trade route between Antioch and the Euphrates.
The site contains remains of multiple religious structures, including temples dedicated to Zeus and churches built around the tombs of Saints Cosmas and Damian.
Located 70 kilometers northwest of Aleppo and 2 kilometers from the Turkish border, the site spreads across two plateaus divided by ancient stone streets.
Two Roman bridges at the site, constructed in the second century CE, remain functional and continue to serve local transportation needs today.
