Ancient Villages of Northern Syria

Syrian Arab Republic
🎧 Listen to Introduction
The approximately 40 villages scattered across eight parks in northwestern Syria provide powerful evidence of rural life in the late ancient and Byzantine periods. Built between the 1st and 7th centuries and abandoned between the 8th and 10th centuries, the villages feature well-preserved landscapes and architectural remains of dwellings, pagan temples, churches, cisterns, baths, etc. The cultural landscape of the villages also serves as an important example of the transition from the ancient pagan world of the Roman Empire to Byzantine Christianity. The remains of hydraulic technology, protective walls, and Roman agricultural plot planning further demonstrate the mastery of agricultural production by the local population.
