Syria Reopens Deir Semaan Castle
The Syrian army has reopened the Deir Semaan Vertical Fortress in rural Aleppo after more than 14 years of closure, aiming to revitalize the tourism sector and strengthen the country's heritage. The fortress is one of the most prominent historical landmarks, distinguished by its octagonal layout and floral decorations. It was built in the late 5th century AD and also served as a pilgrimage center for Christians in the 5th and 6th centuries. The site suffered damage during the Syrian revolution, including airstrikes and the 2023 earthquake. Officials hope that researchers and tourists will visit the site to revive the area's cultural and historical vitality.
