When we were in Syria last year, one of the sites we visited was the historic al-Madina market. It had thrived for hundreds of years, but that ended today when it burned after a battle for control of the streets of Aleppo.
Below is a photo from last year.
The medieval iron gates of the Citadel were reported to have been damaged also. Here is a close up of what one of the gates looked like last year.
