The city of Anadan is build on a hill surrounded by a plain. Anadan currently has about thirteen mosques and several elementary schools, a junior high school and a high schools for boy and girls. During the Ayyubid period, in the 1220s, Anadan was visited by Syrian geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi who noted it was "a village near Kinnasrin, in the Kurah district of Urtik, of the Awasim Province." The 13th-century ''Marasid'' listed it as a village northeast of Aleppo.〔le Strange, 1890, p. 394.〕 ==Syrian Civil War== The Battle of Anadan occurred in Anadan from July 29–30, 2012, during the Syrian civil war. It has been the site of heavy shelling by the Syrian military during the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's government. Consequently, approximately 30,000 people—most of Anadan's population—have fled according to opposition sources. As a result, Anadan has been described as a "ghost town" by journalist Suleiman al-Khalidi of ''Reuters''. Amnesty International released satellite images which show that Anadan has come under heavy artillery bombardment during the uprising. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anadan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
