| A beautiful sunset over the dunes of the Syrian desert, from the top of Palmyra Castle, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. Today, having survived the Syrian Civil War, and later attacks and occupation by ISIL forces, then its use by Assad-aligned Russian forces as a military barracks, restoration work on the castle has yet to start. |
