Old Town Streets

Aleppo old streets are quite appealing place with its ancient cobblestone pathways and old buildings. I would say Aleppo old town is distinct from other places in Syria. This is what I gathered from peoples’ impressions in the net.

Jdeideh square is one of oldest squares in Aleppo. The good thing that it is now full of jewellary shops (goldensmith’s and silversmith’s plus antique objects).
A lot of restaurants and hotels built on old style are now there.

I don’t know exactly what was this before, but it looks like a monastery or a guest house, as it has many rooms and a court-like space in the middle. Now it is souvenirs shops cluster.
