When History Was Reduced To Ruins, 7 World Heritage Sites That War Did Not Spare

The Ancient City of Bosra, in Syria, was the capital of the Arabian part of the Roman Empire and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is situated 40km east of Daraa and about 140 Km south of Damascus. Its most famous structure is the beautiful Roman Theater. Far from its glory days, the Ancient City of Bosra and specifically the theater were severally damaged by mortar shelling and gunfire during the civil war in Syria that began in March 2011.
