Halabiye, Archaeological site on the Euphrates River in Deir ez-Zor Governorate, Syria
The archaeological site spans 12 hectares with fortified walls, two churches, a public bath complex, and multiple streets along the river bank.
Queen Zenobia of Palmyra established the fortifications in the 3rd century CE before Romans captured and reinforced the site in 273 CE.
The architectural elements of the churches and public buildings display a combination of Roman, Byzantine, and Arabic construction techniques and design patterns.
The archaeological remains include intact protective walls on the north and south sides, while the eastern section retains visible structural elements.
The site contains a polygonal curtain wall citadel positioned atop a hill, offering strategic views over the Euphrates River valley.
