Restoration of al-Sakateyya market in Aleppo… a homeland project

Damascus, SANA- with hope and work, the Syrians harvest the fruits of rebuilding their homeland, but more brilliant than it was, through the project of restoring Souk Al Sakateyya in ancient Aleppo city, showing the competence of Syrian national and international experiences in rehabilitating the historical sites and the huge losses that affected them because of the terrorist war.

The souk, which is located in the south of the great Umayyad mosque that is considered one of 37 famous Aleppo markets that date back to 4th century, came under destruction with various levels.

The work in the project, which was nominated for the ICCROM International Prize, lasted for nearly 8 months to be completed in July, 2019 without delay, according to a studied timetable.
