Comment
Since the 3rd millennium BC, all the peoples of the region have occupied this strategic location.In the 13th century, Sultan Nour ed Dine made it his palace, then the Mamluks built the imposing fortified entrance (8-arched staircase-bridge) that can be admired on the coin.
Unfortunately, like the rest of the city (including the famous souks), it has suffered considerable damage.
Interesting fact
The 5 Pound coin from Syria, featuring the Citadel of Aleppo, has a unique design element - it includes a small crescent moon and five-pointed star, which are symbols of Islam, on the reverse side of the coin. This reflects the country's cultural and religious heritage.
