Palmyra,
Syrië


Palmyra is an ancient city of central Syria, located in an oasis 130 miles (210 km) NE of Damascus. Once dubbed the "Bride of the Desert," Palmyra was a vital stop for caravans crossing the Syrian desert. Palmyra was mentioned in the Old Testament as being fortified by Solomon and it flourished in Roman times.
