49. Palmyra, Syria
Palmyra, which means “City of Palm Trees,” was a city that was part of the Roman Empire back in its height. The city contains all the classic signatures of Greco-Roman architecture of the time that was blended with the unique style of Persian architecture.
It is located in what is modern-day Syria and was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980. Unfortunately, a lot of it has been damaged in the crossfire between forces in Syria, leaving much of it destroyed. Its glory has been lost to history.
