O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Masivne vapnenačke zidove dosežu približno 20 metara, s debelim potporama i blisko postavljenim kulama koje vam daju dojam veličine starih obrana. Arheolozi još mogu pratiti rimske temelje ispod vidljivog kamenja, a posjetitelji često primjećuju slojeve različite zidarske tehnike na spoju križarskih i mamluckih popravaka.
Istaknuto: Središnja kula se uzdiže otprilike 30 metara, popnite se uskim spiralnim stubištem i vjetar nosi citrusno-slatki miris obližnjih voćnjaka preko sunčevog zagrijanog kamena. Vodiči vole ukazati na mali izrezbareni križ pored arapskog natpisa. Pritisnite dlan na stoljećima gladili brazde i osjetite udubljenja koje su dodirivale generacije.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear sturdy shoes for uneven stone steps and loose gravel on the ramparts.
- Bring water and a sun hat in summer, shade is limited on the walls.
- Head to the western ramparts at sunset for the best panoramic shots of Old Damascus.
- Ask at the ticket office about access to towers and any temporary restoration work to avoid closed sections.
