There are cities on our planet that are considered very ancient. They are the real pride of our days, not only from the point of view of their prescription, but also the architectural ensemble. Not a single visitor to these places will impress!

5. Beirut

First, we’ll go to Beirut, the cultural center of Lebanon. The city has been over five thousand years old. And the first settlements are dated 3 millennium before the birth of Christ. During the excavations, various settlements were discovered: Ottomans, Arabs, Phoenicians and Romans lived on these lands. After the end of the Lebanese civil war, the city began to be considered a tourist center.

4. Jerusalem

Visitors to holy Jerusalem will experience spiritual enlightenment and purification. No wonder he is considered the spiritual center of the Israelites. This is one of the three holy cities of the Muslim people (after Mecca and Medina). About three millennia BC it was founded by the first settlers. Every tourist must visit the Wailing Wall, the Temple of the Holy Sepulcher and mosques called al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock. During the entire existence of Jerusalem, foreigners made fifty-two attempts to attack, the oldest city suffered forty-four seizures and was besieged twenty-three times. Two events are also indicated in the story, as a result of which this shrine could be completely destroyed.

3. Susa

Susa, once the majestic capital of the Elamite state, captured by the Assyrians, is located on Iranian lands. One of the oldest cities in the world. Frequent theater performances were held in Susa. Today, a city called Shush is founded on these lands, with about seventy thousand inhabitants.

2. Byblos

Anyone who is lucky enough to visit Byblos should definitely admire the church of St. John the Baptist, built in the twelfth century. This is the oldest city in Libya. It was founded by the Phoenicians, whose settlements arose in the 5th century before the birth of Christ. Initially, he was Gebal and supplied the papyrus of the Greeks, who later came up with a new name for him. By the way, scripture (known to everyone under the word “Bible”) has its roots in this. There are countless sights here: the architectural palette is represented by old Phoenician cathedrals, the historic Byblos castle and a wall built in the Middle Ages.

1. Plovdiv (Trazian)

Plovdiv, formerly known as Trazian and now located in Bulgaria, also lures travelers with its history. Here was the largest and most important center of the Romans. Before the accession of this territory to Bulgaria, Plovdiv was part of Byzantium, and then - the Ottoman Empire. Today in the ancient city there are many untouched ruins. The most famous of them are represented by the Roman amphitheater and aqueduct. The so-called Ottoman baths are very popular.
