Aleppo is made up of labyrinth-like backstreets and alleys that lead to some really intriguing finds. Remember when I posted about this city's fantastic Souk? Well, the best thing to do is just get lost, sounds strange, but here, discovery basically happens on its own. The architecture and designs tucked away in some of these alleys are so beautiful!! It was interesting to come across structures from so many different nationalities, each with its own alluring details, like this black and gold archway from an Armenian Christian church. The old palace that now houses the Museum of Popular Tradition (below) was to die-for. All those intricate doorways, windows, and decor...I'll show you some more of Syria's ancient cities in my next post...
And no matter where you are, you'll probably always find American products! ;-P
