Roman ruins

The Roman ruins in Damascus, particularly in the Old City, stand as living testaments to a history spanning from the 1st to the 3rd centuries AD. Among the most prominent remaining landmarks are the towering columns of the Temple of Jupiter at the entrance to the Al-Hamidiyah Souq, the Roman arch on Straight Street (Midhat Pasha Souq), and the remains of the city walls, primarily concentrated around the Umayyad Mosque.
