Syria - Palmyra - 11-29 - a photo on Flickriver

            Main axis colonnade, with 17th c. Arab citadel Qalaat ibn Maan atop hill in background.

A major layover for caravans traveling from the Arab Gulf to the Mediterranean for over 400 years after the Romans captured it in the 1st c. CE, Palmyra is considered one of the largest and most well-preserved Roman ruins. Its history is also famous for Queen Zenobia, matriarch-extraordinaire, who defied Rome, seized control of the city and later all of Syria and Lower Egypt.
