Major archeological Museum in Damascus. It holds the more valuable small objects, such as clay tablets and jewelery from the significant Syrian archeological sites such as Ebla, Ugarit or Mari. There is a Lapidarium outside with mostly Roman or hellenistic parts of staatues and decoritive objects.
Damascus itself is one of the oldest inhabited capitals in the world, dating back to perhaps 8000 BCE. There are many roman ruins.
