Monuments to visit Cyrrhus - Nabi Houri

Returning to Aleppo by Azaz, a few kilometres away from Cyrrhus, the two magnificent Roman bridges of the th century and their progress in triangular shape. The modern road still borrows them. We have to imagine relatively busy roads. The Roman roads continue by means of trails further afield in the steppe. A horse travelled at the time 30 km a day and a donkey 15 km; thus, des were successive on these axes at a maximum distance of 15 km. Also not far from Azaz remains tracks of the mythical East-Express.

The imposing theatre, in the centre of the site, was partly cleared. It's reached by entering the city by the south door, which gave the maximus maximus that you guess before the theater. With its 115 m diameter, it is the second by size after that of Apamea. Like the latter, it stands on a hill. At its summit, we guess the citadel. It served as a defence station against the Parathians. We have a beautiful view of the cardo, the ramparts in the north and the watchtowers that mark the Turkish border.
