Syria shows artifacts from France at Damascus Citadel
The Syrian authorities displayed a collection of recovered archaeological artifacts at the Citadel of Damascus, after being smuggled out of the country approximately 15 years ago. The collection included funerary sculptures from Tadmor and archaeological inscriptions from the Roman era, which were restored in conjunction with French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Damascus last July. These pieces are particularly significant as they represent a part of Syrian heritage that suffered heavy losses during the years of war, having been subjected to looting and smuggling. The exhibition was held as part of the "Summer Festival" events and became an important occasion to open the Damascus Citadel to the public for the first time in years, attracting wide interest from visitors eager to learn about the history and value of the artifacts. Their return symbolizes the effort to restore lost Syrian heritage.
