Palmyra. Syria. View of the 2nd century theatre which laid buried under sand up until the 1950’s and has since been largely excavated and restored back to its former glory. The magnificent sumptuous adorned stage has a large central door known as the Royal Gate, which is flanked by two smaller ones. Facing the stage is the semi-circle orchestra; 20 metre is diameter and beyond it rises the cavea with its nine rows of seats. It is though that originally the cavea was thirty rows of seats in three storeys. Palmyra is one the world’s great archaeological sites with architecture that fused Greek-Roman techniques with local traditions and Persian influences. The ruins seen today on its vast 50 hectares date from around the 2nd century AD and includes grand colonnaded streets, monumental arch, theatre, the colossal sanctuary of Bel and the ghostly valley of the tombs. Palmyra is a UNSECO World Heritage Site.
