EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the ancient and abandoned city of Rueiha in Northwest Syria, known as one of the Dead Cities or Forgotten Cities from the Roman Empire to Byzantine Christianity. Dating back to the 1st to 7th centuries, these archaeological sites were mysteriously abandoned between the 8th and 10th centuries.
Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Rueiha is a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels of this region. The intricate details of age-old structures, preserved over time, showcase the artistry and craftsmanship of civilizations long gone.
Before the devastating Civil War in Syria, this historical photography offers a glimpse into a time when these cities thrived with life and culture. From Byzantine influences to Christian heritage, each corner tells a story of an empire that once reigned supreme in this part of the world.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our past for future generations. The beauty and grandeur of Rueiha serve as a reminder that even in abandonment, there is still much to be learned and appreciated from our ancestors' legacy.
