Syria - Bosra images (38 images)

Images in this gallery are of Bosra and Shaba located in the south east of Syria.
Bosra was briefly a Nabatean capital before becoming the prosperous and powerful capital of the Roman province of Syria. The buildings are distinguished by the black basalt found throughout the area known as the Horan region of Syria. The old city has a number of delightful Roman ruins including the monumental ancient Roman theatre which is one of the largest and best preserved in the Mediterranean.
