Aleppo Citadel

Hard to Attack citadel Review

Favorite thing: With it's superb located zone,the strength of Archers,warriors,knights and many tricky stuffs like the Aqueduct which was surrounding the entire Citadel,and the right placed Main door in a 90 degree corner to make a penetration very difficult,boiling oil,secret ways under ground.....

Fondest memory: Check out this picture, here you enter like me and you can not use the wood cylinder to attack a door in the right!
Beautiful minds and excellent defense idea!

Aleppo Citadel

Ceiling citadel Review

Favorite thing: The Ceiling of the Mosque:
Gorgeous as always in any Mosque,
the great thing in this Mosque is the experience when you stand in the right side and then try to whisper so low to the one who stands in the left side, and like magic you will hear each other despite the distance

Tower of the Mosque citadel Review

Favorite thing: If the Mouazen climbs and call for the prayers from there the whole city will listen!
Actually couple of years later the tower is just a symbol of a Mosque, the Microphone makes it obsolete
