Cultural/ Religious Heritage in MENA REGION: Syria

  • Cultural landscape in Syria, Syria:

    The exhibition Cultural Landscape Syria – Preservation and Archiving in Times of War invites visitors on a virtual journey of discovery through the cultural landscape of Syria, with objects, films, photos and interactive screens. At the same time, it provides insights into the work of the Syrian Heritage Archive Project, and thus, into the practice of cultural preservation.

  • Syrian Heritage Archive Project, Syria:

The supra-regional importance of the cultural landscape in Syria is reflected, among others, by the six UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the historical centers of Aleppo, Bosra and Damascus, the ruins of Palmyra, the Forgotten Cities, and the castles Krak des Chevaliers and Qalʿat Salah ad-Din. Twelve further sites are nominated to be inscribed on the World Heritage List, including the Bronze Age town Ugarit, the Norias of Hama, and the remains of the Abbasid town Raqqa-Rafiqa. These unique sites are exposed to severe dangers, just as much as the entire cultural landscape in Syria. https://project.syrian-heritage.org/en/about-us/
