The Citadel of Aleppo is a large medieval fortified palace in the centre of the old city of Aleppo, northern Syria. It is considered to be one of the oldest and largest castles in the world. Usage of the Citadel hill dates back at least to the middle of the 3rd millennium BC. Subsequently occupied by many civilizations including the Greeks, Byzantines, Ayyubids and Mamluks, the majority of the construction as it stands today is thought to originate from the Ayyubid period. A great deal of conservation work has taken place in the 2000s by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture in collaboration with the Syrian Directorate General of Antiquities. Today, the citadel is an important tourist attraction and a site of archaeological digs and studies. The amphitheater is often used for musical concerts or cultural events.

TRADITIONAL AND NATURAL] What makes Aleppo soap special is its traditional production, which has not changed for centuries, and the combination of Olive Oil and Bay Seed oils without the use of any preservative additives. These natural oils ensure that Aleppo soap has high moisturising properties and can be used on all skin types.
Aleppo soap is more effective on problem skin when its concentration of laurel oil is higher. Indeed, laurel oil is recommended for damaged skin such as acne, psoriasis, eczema and blackheads.
