293 LB - Anjar (1984)

Brief Description

"The city of Anjar was founded by Caliph Walid I at the beginning of the 8th century. The ruins reveal a very regular layout, reminiscent of the palace-cities of ancient times, and are a unique testimony to city planning under the Umayyads."

安杰尔

"安杰尔是由卡利夫·瓦利德一世于8世纪初设计建立的城市。其废墟表明,其整体布局井井有条,使人联想起古代的宫殿,如今,安贾尔成为倭马亚城市规划设计的唯一见证。"
