The Ancient City of Aleppo contains narrow alleys, large mansions, covered markets, and medieval caravanserais within a 350-hectare historic center.
The city dates back to the third millennium BC and has been controlled by multiple empires, including the Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans over its existence.
