The Citadel of Aleppo was primarily built during the 12th and 13th centuries, but archaelogists date certain structures on the site to as far back as the 3rd millenium BC. Over its many years of use, the Citadel has been inhabited by Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Zangids, Ayyubids, Mamluks and Ottomans.
