Citadel of Aleppo : ウィキペディア英語版 | Citadel of Aleppo
The Citadel of Aleppo ((アラビア語:قلعة حلب)) is a large medieval fortified palace in the centre of the old city of Aleppo, northern Syria. It is considered to be one of the oldest and largest castles in the world. Usage of the Citadel hill dates back at least to the middle of the 3rd millennium BC. Subsequently occupied by many civilizations including the Greeks, Byzantines, Ayyubids and Mamluks, the majority of the construction as it stands today is thought to originate from the Ayyubid period. An extensive conservation work has taken place in the 2000s by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture in collaboration with Aleppo Archeological Society. Dominating the city, the Citadel is part of the Ancient City of Aleppo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/21 )〕 The Citadel has received significant damage in the ongoing Syrian Civil War.〔https://twitter.com/edwardedark/status/494197285207949312〕〔http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-29255315〕 == History == The recently discovered Temple of the Ancient Storm God, Hadad, dates use of the hill to the middle of the 3rd millennium BC, as referenced in Cuneiform texts from Ebla and Mari.〔(DayPress News, "Temple of Hadad in Aleppo Citadel Sheds Light on Important Periods" ), Jan 16, 2010.〕 The city became the capital of Yamhad and was known as the "City of Hadad", the temple remained in use from the 24th century BC to at least the 9th century BC, as evidenced by reliefs discovered at it during excavations by German archaeologist Kay Kohlmeyer. The prophet Abraham is said to have milked his sheep on the citadel hill.〔Bianca and Gaube, 2007, pp. 73–103〕 After the decline of the Neo-Hittite state centred in Aleppo, the Assyrians dominated the area (8th–4th century BC), followed by the Neo-Babylonians and the Persians (539–333).〔
