PALMYRA (SYRIA), PART TWO
Here are the pics from the Palmyra Citadel (Qala'at ibn Maan) and the town of Palmyra. Pics from the main part of Palmyra are in Part One.

Views of the Citadel (Qala'at ibn Maan), a large castle on the top of a nearby steep hill...









Inside the Citadel were both indoor and outdoor passages, like a 3-D maze...







Some excellent views from the top...
