The Ancient City of Bosra, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Syria, is renowned for its well-preserved Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic architecture. This historic city features a remarkable 2nd-century Roman theater, one of the best-preserved in the world, alongside ancient mosques, churches, and a sprawling network of ruins. Bosra’s significance lies in its role as a key trading hub along ancient caravan routes, reflecting a rich blend of cultural influences over centuries. Today, it stands as a testament to Syria’s layered history and architectural legacy.
