Details and History

The Library of Congress website offers a multitude of historical images, many with no known restrictions on use. This image is cropped from the damaged early 20th century American Colony stereograph titled Entrance of gateway to Castle, Aleppo.

 

Aleppo is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities on earth. The Citadel was first constructed three millennia ago but many of the current structures date to the 13th century.
