SYRIA-ALEPPO-BAB AL-NASR GATE-RESTORATION

A Syrian worker restores the ancient building of Bab al-Nasr Gate in the old city of Aleppo, Syria, on Feb. 6, 2018. War destroys people and homes in Syria, but amid the destruction, some old secrets get revealed. After the war, restoration efforts have started in the affected ancient sites in Aleppo. When volunteers started their work in Bab al-Nasr Gate, the layers which were added onto the stone ground and walls were cracked and in some parts destroyed, revealing the original structure and architecture of the gate and its exterior part.
