The Aleppo Citadel, a monument of architectural grandeur and historical significance, stands as a testament to the rich and diverse history of Aleppo, Syria. This colossal structure, dating back to at least the 3rd millennium BC, has witnessed the rise and fall of numerous civilizations, each leaving its mark on the citadel's architecture. The core of the Citadel's present structure dates back to the Ayyubid period in the 12th and 13th centuries. Its most striking feature is the imposing entrance, guarded by a magnificent bent entrance, which was a common medieval fortification tactic designed to slow down attackers. This entrance leads to a bridge, once a drawbridge over a deep moat, further exemplifying the citadel’s defensive capabilities.
