"An oasis in the Syrian desert, north-east of Damascus, Palmyra contains
the monumental ruins of a great city that was one of the most important
cultural centres of the ancient world. From the 1st to the 2nd century,
the art and architecture of Palmyra, standing at the crossroads of
several civilizations, married Graeco-Roman techniques with local
traditions and Persian influences." -http://whc.unesco.org
My very first UNESCO postcard of Syria.
Thank you so much Anita of Austria for sharing this with me!
