Palmyra, an ancient city in Syria, was a vital caravan stop in the Syrian Desert.

The ruins are of large-scale monuments containing funerary art, a temple of Ba'al, considered “the most important religious building of the first century AD in the Middle East”, the theater, and the remnants of a 1,200-year-old church believed to be the largest ever discovered in Syria.

Circa 212 Palmyra was ruled by a woman, Septimia Zenobia the widow of Septimius Odaenathus, who governed on the behalf of her son, Vabalathus.

Palmyra is located in an oasis 215 km northeast of Damascus next to a more modern city by the name of Tadmur, the original name in Arabic.

Lady Hester Stanhope visited Palmyra.
