Things to see and do Lattaquie - Lazakia

The. Tablettes, the military art and the currencies of the Lattakia museum are not looking for masterpieces. Most of the excavations are exhibited either at the Damascus museum or at the Aleppo Museum. Here the main interest lies in the place itself (a former caravanserai to the beautiful vaults), whose upper floor, built under the French mandate, housed the governor of the state of the Alawi. The large number of columns of columns crammed into a corner of the garden betrays the importance of Lattakia in antiquity. The garden of the museum is a pleasant break in the midst of lush vegetation, the only possible green stop to Lattakia without gardens.

The museum's rooms are located on the ground Floor and do not hesitate to push the wooden doors that give them access.

Two mosques deserve a visit: the Great Mosque () al-Dawla Street) from the beginning of the th century, and not far away the Al-Jadid Mosque (Maleki Street) of the th century, raised by Soulayman Pasha, the uncle of the Bâtisseur Palace of Damascus.

The large Greek Orthodox community in the city surrounds its churches with special care. The one dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Filasteen Street) has a beautiful marble decorated iconostasis (th century). St. Nicholas Church, Mayssaloun Street, houses a collection of th and th century Syrian icons as well as an ebony throne (th century). See also the Latin Church, the oldest in the city, only look, the interior has been completely renovated (open from to every day, at the corner of Yarmouk and Baghdad streets.)

A huge building for an informative. Nothing except plans.
